You will likely need to go to a jeweler that carries Bulova or Citizen (now owned by the same company) as most after market parts are only available to retailers. Also, you may want to check for a used or broken one on EBAY or somewhere, then you can replace the links inexpensively.

If you have had your watch awhile, it probably needs a clean/oil/adjustment. FIne watches need regular mainentance just like a car. Take to a local watchmaker or send to following:

There is a reason why Bulova watches cost so much when you need to replace the battery....it's DIFFICULT! You can try the following, but I would HIGHLY recommend having a jeweler replace it for you. At one time Walmart did it for next to nothing, but I don't know if they do Bulova watches at this time, but it costs nothing to call them.
Try this AT YOUR OWN RISK:
The best choice for removing a threaded caseback is to use a "caseback removal tool", which consists of two or three adjustable "pins" attached to a handle (most WalMarts sell a two-pin tool in their jewelry department, and you can purchase a better three-pin tool from several vendors on eBay). To use it, start by placing the watch face-down on a padded surface (to avoid scratching the crystal). Adjust the pins so that they very snugly fit into the notches cut into the caseback; if you don't, the pins can jump out when you try to use it and scratch the watch. Place the tool over the caseback and engage the pins into the slots; then, holding the watch steady with one hand and the tool in the other, give the tool a counterclockwise turn to loosen the back (it may take a lot of force to do this, especially if this is the first time the battery is being replaced). Once the caseback is loosened (usually about 1/4 to 1/2 turn), remove the tool and finish unscrewing the back by hand to avoid scratching the watch. Be careful as you remove it as some watches use a very thin O-ring on the back to make a watertight seal.
Afer replacing the battery and ensuring the watch is running properly again, carefully inspect the surface of the case and the threading on the caseback and remove any dust or grimy deposits with a soft cloth. Then, place the caseback onto the case, being careful to align the O-ring or other seals, as well as the caseback threads (tip: to ensure the threads are lined up, place the back on the watch and turn it counterclockwise about 1/2 turn or until you feel the ends of the threads "fall" into place). Screw the caseback down as far as possible by hand, then use the removal tool to tighten it the rest of the way.

Alllways try screwdriver first. If the pin doesn'y come out when you unscrewing it, that means you have pins instead. Use small steel pin and hammer to drive the pins out. Make sure that the split end comes out of the hole first.

Click on the link and ID your watch. The numbers are not identified. If you bought it on eBay, Amazon or anywhere other than a dealer shop, it is a Chinese clone. They make up model numbers for effect and to avoid litigation. https://www.google.com/search?q=Caravelle+By+Bulova+c875182&sca_esv=584988440&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&tbm=isch&sxsrf=AM9HkKkYbdvYgLAR8s9CmNaospXMuyRW9A:1700802670780&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjpjJnY79uCAxUGhYkEHbyDDL4Q_AUoAnoECAQQBA&biw=1920&bih=931&dpr=1 ..

Locate the battery: Check the back or bottom of the clock for the door. Open the compartment: Use a screwdriver or your fingers to open the compartment door. Remove the old battery: Remove the old battery and dispose of it properly

They use many, so the answer is always "the same as the one that came out of it". https://www.energizer.com/specialty-battery-finder/bulova-watch-battery-replacement Nothing here, which is odd because that normally works, https://www.google.com/search?q=Bulova+98H48+battery+type Look for tiny engraving next to the battery compartment. Or ask them direct. https://www.bulova.com/ca/en/contact-us.html ..

are there indents going around in a circle on the back of the watch? if so it is a screw off. You need a special tool available at a jeweler to unscrew back. If it does not have those indents, then look very carefully around the outside edge for the lifting spot, use a pocketknife (carefully!) to lift!

It is better to ask them. https://www.google.com/search?q=Bulova+Watch.+What+model+is+serial+number+C876142 ..

1. Take the watch off your wrist and turn the watch so that the back of the watch is facing up. 2. Use a watch case opener or a small flathead screwdriver to remove the back of the watch. 3. Carefully take out the old battery and discard it properly. 4. Insert the new battery, making sure the plus and minus signs line up with the corresponding symbols in the watch. 5. Securely close the back of the watch. 6. Put the watch back on your wrist and you're done.

Jesus I can't believe no one answered this guy with even an "I don't know." in 6 years. If it's like my watch, it's for synchronizing the second hand. If you press the button on the minute mark from the NIST time web site, when your watch is ten seconds fast, the second hand will stop for ten seconds. This makes your watch match the time clock. The really cool thing is if your watch is SLOW, if you press the button on the minute mark when your watch is twenty seconds behind the NIST time web site, the second hand will SPEED UP until it matches the NIST time. Very cool and this is **totally from my memory** because I just got my watch back from Bulova but I forgot to ask about the button.
