BulovaArchive Series: Military - 96A245

My girlfriend lives in California and I live in Florida. Using the 4H crown it is easy to rotate the second hour hand three hours. Now, whenever I look at this watch I see what time it is in both California and Florida.I have a $3,000 Swiss-made pilot's GMT watch and can do the same sort of thing, except one time is read in 12 hour time and the other in 24 hour time. The Bulova pilot's watch is simple. Simple is one step closer to fool proof.

Great looking watch, placed it on a white band for a little contrast and it never fails to get noticed. Kinda big but by no means unimaginable and i have small wrists

This is a legitimately beautiful watch. I can’t recommend it enough. I returned a Citizen Nighthawk and paid a little more for this and it feels like it’s on another dimension. The sapphire is gorgeous and the dial and rotating bezels are great. Manageable case size at 42mm. Highly accurate. Underrated gem from Bulova.

The Bulova watch was exactly as discribed on the seller's site. The delivery was very fast as I received the watch the next day after placing my order. The watch has a good weight due to the automatic / selfwinding desgin, and the seller's price was far more reasonable than elsewhere.

Great automatic pilot! Leather strap is very nice although I did swap it out for a rice bead style stainless bracelet. Domed sapphire crystal looks great. “PSA” This an automatic watch meaning it does not run on a battery; It seems like all of the negative reviews on this watch are people not understanding that.

I love this watch! It as a fine military look and It is so easy to read at a glance, with, normal, military and duel time (if set) shown simultaneously. With the two dials you can use it as a stopwatch. I normally set the hour dial to 5 (duel time, Ireland) and the minute dial to the current date. It runs a little fast and I like that, as I hate to be late. Also , makes it very easy to reset (it has the Hack feature), as all you have to do is stop the watch and wait a few seconds to set it to the exact time.I prefer analogue watches as they visually represent the time remaining to the next minute, hour. etc.It has an automatic movement. I prefer an automatic movement to any other type movement. It is almost like having the impossible - a perpetual motion machine. No Battery, no winding - YES!I have no scratches, so far, on the sapphire face or the body.All in all, a beautiful watch!

Had this watch since August, it keeps crap time. Upgraded the band, so it looks nice BUT it goes off by 5 min ( fast or slow) every couple weeks. Will NOT keep accurate time .

The YouTube reviews of this watch are misleading. The accessory crowns are tight and need deliberate action to move them. I wore the watch three days in a row, only removing it for bathing and hand washing. The crowns haven't moved a bit. The watch has gained three seconds a day according to WWV. I think the YouTubers have a beef with Bulova. Their negative opinions delayed my purchase for several years and I missed out on a great watch.It is easy and fast to read. Perfect for a pilot or any other heavy equipment operator who needs to tell time at a glance.I decided to add the NATO style leather strap and heavy duty Strap Code spring bars for extra security. Feels great, it's a very comfortable watch. I wish I had purchased it when it came out. Oh well, lesson learned.Go ahead and buy it!
