I bought this watch for a friend as a birthday gift. He loves anything related to WWII. He absolutely loved it. It’s beautifully made watch.
This is a great field watch keeping very accurate time! The blue dial is gorgeous and enhanced by the white hands and indices!! The nylon strap is really nice and you can really change this up with leather straps or other NATO straps!!! 18mm lug allows for many strap options!! Pick one up as you will not regret it! The size of 37mm is perfect!!!
Once I purchased a real strap this has been my new favorite watch. I was unsure about the 37mm diameter at first, as it is a bit small, especially compared to how thick this watch is, but without the NATO strap it really grew on me. Now I think it looks quite handsome. I would recommend making the watch less thick for future models, as aesthetically, it makes more sense to be in the 12mm-13mm range in thickness.
Bulova did an excellent job replicating the coin edge case of these watches and the case size is really nice as well, not too big or too small. I just can't wrap my head around why they gave it a blue dial and red seconds hand. I bought this hoping the blue would be darker and closer to black. I truly feel that if they would have stuck to the black dial and all white hands there would be no buyers remorse with this on my wrist. The movement does keep excellent time as usual and I wouldn't expect anything less from Bulova.
