Seemingly since the dawn of time, dads have been wearing watches. What started as a practical piece of jewelry has now morphed into so much more than just reminding him how long he’s been on the golf course. It’s a statement of his personal style, and no one does it better than Bulova. We’ve rounded up a few of the best timepieces (including a few on sale) worth splurging on to make his day.

A vintage-looking watch with a blue dial…

This two-tone watch has an art deco feel, a bold blue dial, and a grooved bezel. He’ll never get tired of it, since it looks great with a suit or just a T-shirt and jeans. Plus, the quartz movement is incredibly precise, and it has a sweeping second hand. 

A classic watch his dad would approve of…

Inspired by the 1967 Bulova Banker watch, this one has a gold-tone stainless steel case that’s complemented by an alligator-print band. It has a subtle nod to Frank Sinatra’s fedora on the face, and he can see the inner workings when he turns it over. 

A chronograph that’s military-inspired…

From the unique green face to the brown leather band, he’ll want to wear this chronograph watch every day. It has a nod to veterans on the back of the face, and 10% of every sale goes to providing employment opportunities for veterans, so you’ll feel good about buying it. 

Another green-face watch with a bracelet band…

If he often finds himself dressed up, then this is the watch for him. The green face makes it stand out, and the gold accents give it a sophisticated look. It’s a chronograph and water-resistant up to 200 meters, so he can even wear it while swimming. 

A racing watch that’s worth the splurge…

If he’s a racing fanatic, he’ll love this special watch inspired by the 1967 Shelby® Ford Mustang GT5000. It comes in the iconic blue and white colorway and has the Shelby Cobra in the dial. It’s a one-of-a-kind piece he’ll wear for years. 

A classic chronograph with Roman numerals…

This is for the dad who drinks his coffee black, gets to the airport four hours early, and watches the 6 pm news like it’s the Bravo Summer House reunion. He likes what he likes, so this classic watch — with its gold-tone stainless steel case and brown leather strap — is sure to be a hit.
