AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Bulova Military VWI Special Edition 2026 chronograph is the result of a collaboration with the Veteran Watchmaker's Initiative (VWI), a specialist school that teaches the art of watchmaking to U.S. military veterans.
This project pays tribute to Bulova's history as a supplier to the U.S. armed forces, with 10% of the proceeds from each sale donated to VWI to fund student training and their future career opportunities. The design is directly inspired by military field chronographs from the 1940s, emphasizing a functional, mission-oriented aesthetic. Water resistance is 10 BAR.
The watch features a 42.50 mm silver-tone stainless steel cushion case, topped with a distinctive fluted bezel with a knurled edge. The military green dial has a three-register layout with beige details and luminous hands to ensure quick time reading even in low-light conditions.
It is fitted with a saddle-brown leather strap with ivory contrast stitching and a 22 mm lug width, offering a secure and comfortable fit.
A domed, shatter-resistant mineral crystal protects the dial, giving it a vintage look with modern-day durability.
Inside, the watch is powered by Bulova's patented high-performance quartz movement, which operates at a frequency of 262 kHz. This frequency is eight times higher than that of standard quartz, enabling accuracy within a few seconds per year and a smooth, continuous sweep of the chronograph hand. The six-hand movement provides precise elapsed-time measurement and includes a discreet date window. The solid, durable screw-down case back ensures the watch is watertight and features a custom engraving celebrating the partnership with VWI.
The item shown in the photos is the one that will be shipped.
The watch comes with a 2+3-year official international warranty and original Bulova box.
All our parcels are shipped insured.
Delivery time: 3/5 days.
Please read the terms and conditions of sale carefully.
