Discover the Bulova MIL-SHIPS Rose Gold Tone Bronze Special Edition

A Tribute to Naval Heritage and Craftsmanship

The *Bulova MIL-SHIPS Rose Gold Tone Bronze Special Edition* (SKU: 98A324) is a sophisticated homage to Bulova’s rich history with the armed forces. This exceptional timepiece reimagines a rare 1957 prototype developed for the U.S. Navy, now elegantly revamped as part of Bulova’s 150th Anniversary celebration. It embodies both a tribute to the past and a testament to Bulova’s enduring commitment to innovation and meticulous craftsmanship.

Ingenious Moisture Indicator for Enhanced Durability

Designed with naval precision, the MIL-SHIPS features an innovative bi-colour moisture indicator strip on its dial. This unique element provides an early warning system by changing color if moisture penetrates the case, ensuring the watch maintains its robust 200m water resistance. This makes it an essential feature for divers and adventurers seeking reliability and peace of mind.

Exquisite Craftsmanship and Timeless Design

The MIL-SHIPS showcases a 41mm sandblasted case crafted from CuSn8 bronze, exuding a distinctive rose-gold hue reminiscent of vintage diving helmets. Over time, this durable material develops a natural patina, enriching its unique character while adding an extra layer of protection. Furthermore, the double-domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal guarantees superior clarity and scratch resistance. Staying true to its roots, Bulova has preserved key design elements from the original 1957 prototype. The khaki green dial with sepia and white luminescent hour markers ensures excellent legibility in low-light conditions. The retro “BULOVA” motif on the screw-down crown and the unchanged classic logo enhance its vintage appeal and authenticity.

Functionality Meets Style with the Bulova MIL-SHIPS Bronze

Although not a professional dive watch, the MIL-SHIPS offers a 20-bar (200m) water resistance, suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and everyday wear. Its bidirectional rotating bezel enhances usability, while the blue 18mm hybrid strap, crafted from rubber and Cordura® nylon, provides the ideal balance of durability and comfort. More than just a timepiece, this watch is a bold statement of timeless style and adventure, deeply tied to its historical connection with the U.S. Navy.
