Honoring Bulova’s storied history with the armed forces and based on a rare prototype from 1957 developed for the U.S. Navy, the Special Edition MIL-SHIPS Bronze celebrates Bulova’s 150th anniversary and its legacy of innovation and fine craftsmanship. This newly reimagined timepiece features an elevated design with a sandblast-finished case made of CuSn8 bronze, a lustrous material with a rose-gold hue reminiscent of 19th-century copper diving helmets. Bronze is much stronger than copper, and over time, it forms a natural patina, adding a protective layer that enhances its durability and enriches its unique, timeless look. Distinctive features include a deep blue dial with a matching aluminum bidirectional bezel insert, a vintage-inspired handset with super luminous hands and markers, a bi-color moisture strip indicator strip, and a double-domed sapphire crystal with a 5-layer anti-reflective coating. Paired with an upgraded deep blue 18mm strap made of a hybrid of rubber and Cordura® nylon for durability and comfort and powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement with a 60-hour reserve, it showcases a commemorative 150th anniversary embossed case back and is water resistant up to 200 meters. Delivered in premium packaging with a storybook, this heritage-inspired MIL-SHIPS Bronze men’s timepiece is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
