We didn’t see this watch coming, mostly because we’d never heard of it. Bulova reached into its archives to recreate the “Parking Meter” Chronograph, so named due to the distinct framing of its two subdials. The bullhead-style quartz timepiece also has top-mounted chrono pushers and a crown at the 6 o’clock position, all of which add to the watch’s unique look. There’s a tachymeter inner bezel ring, a 12-hour chapter ring, and a deep-set main dial. The stainless steel case measure 43mm across. The silver, blue, and orange colorway is properly sporty, and the stitched and padded brown leather strap add a dose of class to this vintage-style watch.
