A pretty sweet dial

IFL stripped down the Super Seville dial to create a clean canvas for the honeycomb texture. The hour window, corresponding Cyclops crystal, applied hour markers, brand log, Precisionist logo and the sandwich hour and minute track have all been removed.

This isn’t the first textured dial on the Super Seville, with a stone dial series released in late 2024, but that only removed the hour markers.

The only other detail added is a honeybee doodle counterbalance on the second hand.

A brushed steel plate is covered with a white honeycomb structure resembling the one famously used by Rolex. Each dial in the 500-piece collection is hand-painted with honey drops in different patterns so that no two watches are identical.

The result is a sleeker, stripped-down version of Bulova’s timelessly stylish workhorse—or, should I say, worker bee—watch. The individuality created by the hand-painted dial may be enough for some to justify the increased price of $1,190.
