  • These watches are very nice
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
I saw "the hack" on a WWII movie and said to myself "I didn't know Bulova made military watches". I had to do some research and learned that they were quite popular during the war. Due the second hand stopping immediately when the crown was pulled. This allowed for synchronicity in missions. Enough about the history let's get into the watch itself. Bulova is owned by Citizen and the watch has the quality of a Citizen watch. The case is small if you are used to big watches. This reason for the case being small is also part of its functionality, the smallness of the case is supposed to allow for a tactical feel. You can wear the watch on the inner portion of wrist and it doesn't feel bulky. The moment is nice and the second hand has a slight tick to it, thought it appears to be a smooth sweeping motion. The Arabic numbers an the face are large and the do glow. The 24 hr numbers stand out on the black face, but do not glow. The automatic feature is nice and after a couple of shakes the watch begins to move. If you want it to keep time I would recommend a watch winder. If you don't want to spend the money it take a few seconds to set the time. My only gripe about the watch is actually the band. It is in the tradition of the NATO strap but isn't exactly. If you want to hang a compass on it, the compass has to be tiny. All the modern compasses are way to big a bulky for this strap. Also it's made in China. For the price I would prefer a softer leather. The crown does adorn the Bulova logo and the traditional Bulova namesake is scrawled across the face giving it an antique feel. Be aware this watch is water resistant. I would not swim with it, but it can withstand heavy rain and sweat, the backing is a screw down backing with a gasket. The crystal is clear and pretty tough. I haven't put it through the ringer, though I rarely take off my watches during the week. If you are thinking about this watch it is a great way to show off your historical knowledge and it is a fun way to show your love for military history. It is not a showy peice but does make a statement. ... show more

  • Pretty cool field watch
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
I'm so glad I added this watch to my collection. The design is timeless; the fit at 38mm is perfect for my medium wrist; and the value of watch you get for money is a bargain. I love the domed crystal and it adds to the vintage style. I get lots of complements when wearing this watch. The cathedral hands are super cool and retro but with modern lume. Cons: the rotor is loud and you will hear it when wearing it but I got used to it and it became a nice reminder that it's a automatic watch. The lume doesn't last a long time but I am still able to tell time at dawn because the lume in the hands last longer than in the markers. The leather strap looks nice and is confortable but you I like switching straps often and will be getting a fabric NATO and maybe a olive alligator strap to have some variety. Overall, I would totally buy this watch again and do recommend it as an everyday watch because it is very well build and it doesn't feel fragile despite of the mineral crystal. ... show more

  • Watches from this era are not big
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
It’s a great watch to me. Current watch trends lean toward larger watch dials and faces, big pieces generally. This watch is a replica or close facsimile to a field watch for a soldier or officer in the 40’s; wrist watches then were generally smaller so keep that in mind when it arrives. It’s a great watch, real simple and I can feel the quality that went into making it. My only complaint: I can hear the automatic mechanisms inside the watch that keep it running swirling around to power the watch. It’s a little whirl sound, not super noticeable but if it’s quiet around you, you’ll hear it. Overall great watch and exactly what I was looking for. ... show more

  • Sturdy 3 hand military hack Sturdy 3 hand military hack
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
If you’re looking for a classic military hack that’s true to the original A11 design, at a good price, this is it. It’s an Automatic, so it’s performs consistently, so no worry of battery going dead. Keeps time accurately. It’s a little thicker than a battery powered but not really noticeable. 38mm dial is just right. The NATO strap fits nicely. Luminous brightness could be a little brighter but also depends on how much light you expose it to. Overall happy with it. A very nice military hack watch at half the price of other military automatics. ... show more

  • A nice simple mechanical watch - update
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
Over the years, when I have worn a watch I have tended toward simple, easy to read faces (sometimes called a "field watch") and a smaller, more discrete appearance. This watch is perfect for me. It's an automatic or self-winder - no batteries, ever - and I love the look and feel of it on my wrist. I've worn it for a couple weeks now and adjusted to correct the time just once (I check it every day or so against my phone). I also feel that I got a pretty good deal on it. This model's full retail price is about $450. It typically sells for about $350 (that was the online price for the manufacturer last time I checked) and I got it for a little more than $200. Bought May 2023 - sending it for repair Jan 2024 - the automatic winding stopped working, which I did not mind all that much, but then the second hand fell off and sometimes interferes with the other hands. Will report back what happens. ... show more

  • It's okay, but it has some annoyances
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
This watch looks pretty nice for casual wear, but I wouldn't want to rely on it for everyday wear. The curved crystal makes it a little annoying to read the time because of the glare in certain lighting, and the second hand is a little prone to disappear on the dark background, but overall it's an okay watch. The only particularly annoying aspect of it is the need to keep it wound if you don't wear it everyday; consequently since I only wear it a couple times each week, I typically have to reset the watch and wind it before getting on my way. It does lose a few seconds each day, but it's relatively accurate. ... show more

  • Great firld watch
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
This Bulova field watch is a great homage to the field watches from WWII and that were produced way into the 1960s. The size is appropriate for small wrists and the lume in the numbers and hands make it readable in low light conditions. Not the longest lasting lume but appropriate for “civilian use”; the size is appropriate for small wrists but it looks nice even in slightly thick wrists. The time keeping is accurate. My time grapher shows that it is plus-minus 17 seconds per day which is within average for the movement that it contains. So far I am satisfied with my purchase and will update if something changes. I gave this watch 5 stars as the quality/value/price correlation is excellent. ... show more

  • Good buy at the Sale price. Good buy at the Sale price.
Color: Green Leather/Black Dial
I bought this on sale and for the price It’s pretty good. The dial is pretty plain looking without much depth or particularly interesting detail. I’ve only had it about a week, but so far the movement has been pretty accurate and I like the hacking feature. The movement itself kind of rattles, not sure id that’s normal or not. This is my first automatic movement. The leather band feels pretty cheap and plastic-like despite being leather (the band is Chinese made). The lume is ok. Fit and finish is good. I have fairly narrow wrists, and barely have enough space on the band to work on my skinnny male wrist. ... show more
