Bulova Hack Watch 98A255

The red 24-hour track gives this Bulova Hack its most distinctive detail. Set against a black dial with large Arabic numerals, it adds a flash of color to an otherwise utilitarian military-inspired watch. The grey steel case and green leather NATO-style strap keep the overall look grounded.

Why this watch stands out

The 38mm case has a double-domed mineral crystal and luminous hands and markers for easier reading in low light. Its green leather strap passes beneath the case, giving this reference a different character from a conventional two-piece leather-strap watch.

What does all of this do?

The red inner track lets you read the same time in 24-hour format, so 3 p.m. appears as 15 rather than 3. It does not independently track another time zone. The automatic movement winds as you wear it and can keep running for approximately 42 hours when fully wound. Its hacking feature stops the seconds hand while setting the time, making it easier to synchronize the watch.

Our take

The red inner track and green strap make this Hack recognizable without losing the clarity of a field watch. Its small case and simple display leave the mechanical movement as something to enjoy rather than something you have to manage.
