Reviews
Another great bulova timepiece.
Love the simplicity and execution of the design at a reasonable price. The movement on my particular example is well within spec on wrist. My first watch I can remember wearing as a child was a gift (a silver dial hand-wind Caravelle (by Bulova) and my father wore an Accutron back in the 70’s so it’s nice to have a Bulova back in the collection. The cathedral hands are a nice touch and the lume is surprisingly good on this watch. I swapped the original green nylon strap for a quality brown leather one I already own made by FinWatchStraps (see photo) which I think compliments the watch nicely. Overall I think it’s a great looking and comfortable watch to wear and enjoy.
Keeps good time. Accurate to within seconds of my cell phone and Regulator wall clock. Cloth band is very comfortable, but a bit long for my wrist, so I just fold the excess band back under the 2nd sliding strap holder.

I love it for everyday wear, non vwi was cool too, but went with this one.
Bought this watch through a certified reseller and i am happy with the purchase. 38mm makes for a perfect everyday watch.
Really loving this 38mm field watch. Love that it harks back to the A-11 watch issued in WW2 by Bulova. My grandfather was at D-day so this is small way to help remember him. Beautiful domed crystal. Movement timing is quite good, better than the spec suggests. The single position crown is really satisfying to use and of course it's awesome that it hacks. Only complaint is the strap. I needed to add two holes, which made it fray, so I'll need to replace it with a NATO. Would love if Bulova included the non-VWI black leather nato strap too.
Veterans Watchmakers Initiative Hack watch
I have worn this watch of a couple of days now and it is wonderful. A great looking watch that supports a great and very needed cause.
Great quality
Another great bulova timepiece.
Solid watch / Keeps perfect time
I bought this watch for every day use and it has not disappointed. It is classic in its simplicity and has held up well on the farm. We ride horses, muck stalls, drive tractors and move hay every day. No issues whatsoever. And it has kept perfect time since I purchased it 6+ months ago. I will be looking at another Bulova watch soon! Great value.
My favorite go to
This is my favorite go to watch while working in the yard are just hanging out with some friends very comfortable keeps great time and the lume is good for a watch in this price point. Plus I can’t help but to feel pride but 10% of the proceeds goes to a great cause.
