Story & heritage
Bulova’s global product page says the Chronograph A is inspired by the brand’s 1970s diver chronographs.
The same official copy explains the “Surfboard” nickname: the distinctive blue oval encircles the two subdials and gives the watch its graphic identity.
Materials & craft
The current 98A252 version uses a stainless-steel case, black and red bezel accents, an off-white dial and a rubber-style strap profile.
Its charm comes from the contrast between practical diver-chronograph cues and the almost poster-like dial layout.
How to choose & style
Lean into the surfboard shape with casual clothes: camp collars, canvas sneakers, fatigue pants and simple tees all make more sense than formal cuffs.
