The Bulova Frank Sinatra Summer Wind is an automatic watch offered in at least two documented references: the black-dial 96B381 and the grey-dial 97B206. Bulova’s Canadian product pages list both as unavailable there, so their displayed Canadian prices are not confirmed current buying prices. Here’s how the two versions differ and what Bulova lists for each.
Which Summer Wind references does Bulova list?
Bulova’s Canadian product pages document two Summer Wind references. The most visible differences are the dial and case finishes, straps, and the status shown on those regional pages.
| Reference | Dial and case | Strap | Bulova Canada page status | Listed Canadian price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 96B381 | Black enamel dial; stainless-steel case | Black leather | Sold out | CA $995 |
| 97B206 | Grey enamel dial; rose-gold-tone stainless-steel case | Grey leather | Discontinued and sold out | CA $1,050 |
Prices and status are those displayed on Bulova’s Canadian pages when checked; they do not establish current transaction prices or availability in other markets. The “discontinued” label applies to the 97B206 page, not necessarily every Summer Wind reference worldwide. Bulova 96B381 product page; Bulova 97B206 product page.

Both pages list the same movement type, power reserve, and water resistance. Bulova’s published descriptions do not establish that either reference has a performance advantage over the other. A 30-metre water-resistance rating is a specification, not a promise that the watch is suitable for swimming or diving.

What does “Summer Wind” mean in the Sinatra collection?
Bulova says the design draws inspiration from its 1960s Date King and combines vintage styling with details associated with Frank Sinatra, including a fedora motif and orange accents. That is Bulova’s design description; the product pages do not independently establish the watch’s historical connection to the Date King. Bulova’s Frank Sinatra collection page.
Bulova’s official video description also attributes the line “Orange is the happiest colour” to Sinatra. It does not give the original date or occasion of the remark, so the attribution should be understood as Bulova’s, rather than as independently documented provenance. Bulova’s official video.

Is the Bulova Summer Wind discontinued?
On the Bulova Canada pages checked, the 97B206 is marked discontinued and sold out, while the 96B381 is marked sold out. Those labels indicate the status Bulova displayed for Canada; they do not confirm the status of every reference or market. Reseller stock and secondary-market listings may differ, and the cited pages do not verify any seller’s inventory or current price.
If you are looking for one, search by its exact reference—“Bulova Frank Sinatra Summer Wind 96B381” for the black version or “Bulova 97B206 Summer Wind” for the grey version—and confirm the reference on the listing before buying. The official pages identify leather straps but do not state lug width or replacement-strap compatibility, so verify fit for the exact reference before ordering a replacement.
