Nouvellement ajoutée à la collection Archive Series, la montre MIL-SHIPS-W-2181, basée sur un prototype conçu à l’origine pour la marine américaine, n’a jamais été commercialisée. C’est en 2021 que les amateurs de montres auront l’occasion de posséder ce modèle de luxe pour la toute première fois. Cette montre de sport est inspirée d’un modèle conçu pour la Marine des États-Unis. Son cadran est doté d’une bande de papier unique qui indique la présence d’humidité dans la montre. En cas de défaillance de l’hydrorésistance (jusqu’à 200 mètres), la bande de papier changera de couleur. Une autre de ses particularités est que son anneau supérieur ne tournera qu’à l’application d’une pression. Son boîtier en acier inoxydable protège son cadran noir mat, le tout est monté sur un bracelet NATO bleu ardoise fabriqué en matériau de nylon finement tissé hydrofuge. Non seulement cette montre exceptionnelle arbore un look polyvalent qui sied à toutes les occasions, elle possède les caractéristiques qui lui permettent de rivaliser avec les autres montres de sport sur le marché actuellement.

Avis
[staff review] the watch is great but I’m continually blown away how comfortable it is. The strap size and comfort is the sneaky star of the watch.
I love this watch. Real heritage/history for under $1000. The LE version has "Swiss Made" on the dial, but the original didn't because the movement was made in the US! So arguably, the SE version is more true to the original. The 16mm strap may seem small but once you get used to it, it really looks quite nice and more like 18mm. The narrow lugs really compliment the case design, IMHO. The movement, the 82SO Miyota is basic and unrefined, but totally functional and reliable. I wish Bulova dipped into their margins and put a better movement in there, but that's not enough for me not recommend this watch. My dream version of this watch would have a hand-wind movement in it, just like the original.
It was a birthday gift for my husband and he loved it

I bought this watch 2 months ago, great quality , nice to wear, love the case and looks, would love if instructions and history pamphlets would come in the box, and also if Bulova would make silicone bands for it . Luminous hands and markers aren’t that bright at dark but it’s a great watch for the price Bulova please bring back more Army and Navy inspire watches thank you
I bought this watch from Zales as soon as it was offered for sale. Looks grate and sits on the wrist perfectly! Perfect watch for Florida ocean living! The bezel function is different and interesting! The only bad thing is that the pamphlet explaining the history of this watch was not in my packaging, I was looking forward to reading that.
I bought this watch thru Hodinkee when they were first offered for sale. I'd been reading about the history of it and became fascinated. The Mil-Ships is beautiful, well made, and fits my wrist nicely. I'm a trained military diver and a PADI SCUBA instructor and will be taking this honey on all my future dives. The bezel is beautiful and unique with its "push-down-and-turn" action. The dial looks exactly like that on the original 1957 prototype. The case back is nicely finished and very beautiful. And the strap is extremely comfortable. A very beautiful tool-watch diver from Bulova!
The watch that wasnt until it was!
From the face to the strap and back up through the case and the bezel, man this is a great watch. I love the look and the feel and have already gotten some nice comments from fellow watch nerds. If Bulova can pull from their archive like this, they are going to be positioning themselves to shake things up and move on from the fashion watch label that seems to be its lot right now. Great work and good luck...oh and coming back to the bezel, the push to twist? Make it happen again and again.
Great history, great wear

Great watch.
Excellent vintage inspired diver and I would love to see more silhouettes like this from Bulova in the future.
Basically perfect
