Some have a pop off case, find the "lip" on the case back and put a small screw driver or anything else metal that will fit under it and pry it off that way. Others have a screw on case back and will have 6 square slots around the outer edge, you will need a wrench for this that you can find on ebay

Most Bulova Watches have PRESSURE TIGHT backs. Meaning the back is applied with EQUAL amounts of pressure to the entire back. There are two(2) solutions:

1. Take the Bulova watch to an experienced watch dealer/repaiman, to have the back applied, or

2. CAREFULLY MAKE SURE THE BACK IS IN THE PROPER POSITION, then WRAP THE ENTIRE watch with a soft, cushy clothe and with a pair of pliers, CAREFULLY apply pressure to the center of the back plate, until the back covers seats to the proper depth(closed), at the same time BEING VERY CAREFUL not to crack the watch crystal!!

Pull the stem out one click, rotate stem clockwise to set day, counter clockwise to set day, pull stem out to second click to set time

One of the two buttons is a mode button when you push on that button digits on your watch start blinking. Once the digits start blinking keep on pressing the other button till you get the desired digit and then press the mode button again to fix the digits and likewise you can set it for minutes also.

You need a special tool called a case opener, if you flip the watch over you should see 6 square slots on the outer rim, this means that the back case is screwed on and probably has a water proof seal, keep in mind there are different sizes. I suggest you check ebay for watch tools, you might find what you are looking for.

I suggest that you go to their web site http://www.bulova.com/contact/contact.aspx and contact your loca service center. They should be able to advise you.

If you go to http://www.bulova.com/brands/bulova/product.aspx?origin=sku&sku=96B141&brand=bulova you will see a menu in the center of the screen. Choose operating instructions and download them.


Have a Merry Christmas!

Thanks for contacting FIxYa..
You will need to take it to an authorized Bulova retailer to have them use the correct tool to remove your battery.

mcdevito75 here, I did a fast search online and didn"t find any info about battery number. Best Bet look for a small watch repair shop in your area for the battery number.

You could always ask the maker (go to Boluva.com and get the address of your nearest service center).

It seems s unlikely that they will be able to help with such an old watch but you never know your luck. I'm sure that they will be pleased to hear that your watch is still working after such a long time!

You can probably buy one at the jewlery store. Problem will be that you cant put it in unless you have the special tool to do it.

While pushing and holding the RESET button in, press the START button to toggle between CHIME ON/OFF.

While in (digital) Clock mode (NOT in alarm setting mode!!!), push the bottom-right button and then the top-right, to toggle alarm on & off.

Do not wind it more that about 8-10 turns at a time, do this at bed time and mid day it will give you years of reliable service. If I can be of fiurther assistance do not hesitate,.... ask

Hello I have the same watch and had the same problem. You press the mode button till you get to the point to change the main time, you then press the reset button (bottom button on right side of the watch)to toggle to the hour place, you then cycle thru the time untill the "h" in the top right hand corners disappears and then the watch will be back on regular time.

Even you change a new battery with desame size and volts not working.The problem is in the terminal where going to put the battery.The terminal had a dirt or a film residue that comes out from the battery,you better clean terminal by scratching the old film,the lying down terminal is negative,,the side terminal is positive you better observed polarity if happen inter change the battery side it will not works.If not working, even you clean already terminal,short the terminal connection for 3 seconds,If you have a flourescent with a ballast,put your watch lying where there is strong vibration for five minutes, your watch works 100% txt me whatever the result so i know it's ok.

If you don't have the instruction manual you can go to this link and on the right side of the page you can type in the model number. (it will tell you where to locate the model number) I tried this for a Bulova from 1998 and it worked but I don't know how far it will go back but it's worth a try.
