Frequently asked questions

What lug width is the Bulova Precisionist?

The Bulova Precisionist Chronograph (ref. 98B228, 45mm) uses a 24mm lug width. The Precisionist (ref. 96B175, 45mm) also uses 24mm. The older Precisionist models similarly use 24mm. 24mm is a less common strap size — AliExpress selection is smaller than 20mm or 22mm but covers rubber, leather, and NATO options. The Precisionist's large case (45mm) requires a 24mm strap for proper proportioning — a narrower strap would look visually incorrect on the case.

What strap suits the Bulova Precisionist?

The Bulova Precisionist is a bold, large chronograph — straps should match its substantial presence. FKM rubber in 24mm at $8–$16 is the most practical and appropriate choice: it suits the Precisionist's sport-chronograph character and is comfortable for a 45mm watch. Search 'FKM rubber strap 24mm' on AliExpress. Leather in 24mm gives it a more formal, sophisticated look — search '24mm leather watch strap' for $8–$18 options. NATO at $4–$8 reduces the considerable weight of a 45mm chronograph on the wrist. The key rule: straps should be proportionally substantial — thin or delicate straps look incorrect on the Precisionist's large case.
