DESCRIPTION
The Bulova Archive Series MIL-SHIPS-W-2181, reference 98A266, is a distinctive automatic diving watch inspired by an experimental timepiece developed for the United States Navy during the 1950s.

Combining authentic military-inspired styling with modern watchmaking technology, this model features a push-to-rotate safety bezel, a historical-style moisture indicator on the dial and a double-domed sapphire crystal.
The watch offered here is brand new and unworn, complete with its original Bulova box.
