Bulova Unveils Exclusive E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star B Watch: A Brilliant Commemoration of Its Role in E1 World Championship

Published: 26 Jan 2025
Bulova introduces its exclusive E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star B watch in honour of its role as the official timekeeper of E1 Team Miami in the exciting E1 World Championship. This isn't just a repackaged model; it's a different breed within the vast Marine Star chronograph collection.

Bulova kicks off 2025 on a high note with the release of the striking E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star B watch - a refreshing variant to the brand’s well-known Marine Star chronographs. This timepiece isn’t merely an existing model spruced up with bright blue and orange hues, it presents tangible differences that make it stand out among its counterparts.

A bit of background is crucial to understanding the significance of this new release. The E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star B watch is a homage to Bulova’s association with the thrilling E1 World Championship—an electric boat racing series approved by the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), the global governing body for powerboating. The championship is alike to the Formula E racing series for cars, emphasising innovation and sustainability, promoting eco-friendly technologies to lessen the environmental impact of marine vehicles.

Notably, Marc Anthony, a Bulova brand ambassador, not only has his out E1 team—Team Miami Powered by Magnus—but his endorsed company is also the official timekeeping partner for his racing team. This close connection called for the creation of an exclusive watch, the Bulova E1 Team Miami Racing Marine Star B.

The exclusive Bulova E1 Team Miami Racing watch (ref. 96B460) closely resembles the existing Marine Star Series B chronographs. However, upon closer examination, key differences become evident. The new watch omits the internal rotating timing bezel in favour of a more traditional chronograph layout, reducing the gap between its lugs to 20mm. Additionally, it features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, an upgrade from the mineral glass crystal found in the usual Marine Star Series B watches.

Capturing the spirit of Team Miami’s vibrant palette, the Bulova E1 Team Miami Racing watch possesses a dazzling blue dial with orange highlights, and white accents from the Super-LumiNova that fills the hands and applied hour markers. This dedication to design detail makes this watch a striking emblem of Bulova’s commitment to the E1 World Championship and its sustainable future.
