Dial:
The round dial has a very neat textured design with a silver toned color. 

It also has a seconds/minutes scale around the outer edge where the increment indicators are black thin lines.  The raised and applied silver toned hour makers at the 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o'clock positions are Retro-Modern style Arabic numerals, and the remaining positions are in the form of arrows.

The straight dauphine-style hour and minutes hands are silver in color.  And the sleek sweeping seconds hand is black in color. 

The crystal is flat on the surface and angular sides and is raised 4MM above the case. 

It is marked Bulova below the 12 o'clock position, and  Waterproof above the 6 o'clock position, and Swiss at the 6 o'clock position.

          
Band:
18MM genuine leather padded and sewn which is black in color.  It has a silver tone buckle.  The total length is 9."
