My Bulova Aerojet is the best looking watch I have ever owned. It also keeps accurate time.
Bulova has a great history and should capitalize on its design language from the past. They have an extensive archive that can be reissued and would attract many watch enthusiasts. This is a good example. They just need to resist the urge to oversizing their watches, case in point, the Bulova Moonwatch is just way too big, if they had sized it closer to the original it would have sold like hotcakes. But it's so nice to see them back doing heritage watches with automatic/manual movements. I have attached a really nice watch Bulova discontinued a few years ago. Great historical design (from their archives). I'm not a quartz movement fan, but I do love the UHF smooth sweeping second hand and accuracy of this watch. It's too bad they discontinued this watch, I know they have a couple of other military reissues which is great, but the design of this one was exceptional. It would be nice to see an automatic/manual version of it. But having said all that, it's great to see this Aerojet. Nicely done Bulova.

I think this is a solid, upscale watch in this price range. I really love the blue color and markings of the watch face. I prefer a simpler, cleaner look, and this one is not "overcomplicated" by complications. It is not too heavy but also not so light you'd question its overall quality. Also, the quality of the band (leather strap) fits the watch. I do think the luminous hands and markers are somewhat on the weak side, however. Unless I am in complete darkness, it is a challenge to read the time without my readers on.
This watch would not stay wound. i returned it. very unhappy. i love the style but quality was not good.
