Nice watch

As I saw that Bulova was contributing to the Veterans Watchmaker Initiative with every purchase of this watch, I decided to purchase it. The lume on the watch is better than I expected, and I am pleased with my purchase.

The Hack watch with a purpose

Great Tribute to my WW2 vet father. My father didn’t leave me much to remember his service, but this watch fills that void. It also gives me a way to support the Veterans’s Watchmaker initiative in a way that I can actually see the results.

Explain Hack

As a US Navy Instrumentman and mechanical calibration technician in the 70's, I was also a Navy watchmaker. This original watch was made by Hamilton, Benrus, Gruen, and a couple others and they were all the same style. But the purpose of a "Hack" was a mechanical lever that stopped the balance wheel and thereby stopped the watch so a group of military people could synchronize their watches for whatever reason. By pulling out the crown (winder) the hack stops the watch while you set it and then at the same time everyone pushes the crown back in which restarts everyone's watch to the same time. Just like in the movies!

Bulova Respuesta We appreciate you sharing your knowledge of Hack watches, and thank you for your service! Bulova has a storied military history, including the production of action-ready watches commissioned by the U.S. government for soldiers during the Second World War. Among their contributions was the iconic ‘A-11’ specification navigation watch, commonly known as the ‘Hack’ watch. These watches had to meet strict accuracy standards, and as you noted, the 'hack' feature allows the second hand to stop when the crown was pulled, enabling synchronization for coordinated missions. Bulova takes pride in its military history, and our collection of military-inspired watches is a reflection of that legacy.
