The Champlain, X Edition, and 262kHz are among the Bulova Precisionist’s more prominent editions.
The Champlain is by far the most popular, boasting a silver or black and gold design that really pops.
The gold rings the different dials of the watch face. One thing to note about this watch is that it’s on the heftier side at around 260 g, and the watch face is solid yet bulky.
If you like larger watches, you’re likely to like this one, especially given its advanced chronograph and precise timekeeping capabilities.
However, if you want a slimmer watch, you’ll want to consider one of the other Bulova Precisionist watch options.
For example, the X Edition is an interesting alternative, eschewing the black and gold design of the Champlain for stainless steel and black casing paired with a unique green leather strap.
For those not in the know, a kilohertz, or “kHz,” is equivalent to 1,000 hertz, which are used to measure a watch’s frequency.
In general, the bigger the number, the better, which is the basic raison d’etre of the 262kHz.
Other notable editions include:
- Bulova Precisionist 96B158: Apart from the Champlain, this is one of the most popular and recognizable Bulova Precisionist designs, combining a smooth silver case with a black leather strap and gnarled crown.
