Bulova MIL SHIPS Archive Series 98A266

Product Information
Overview
The Bulova MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 98A266 is a revived 1950s prototype originally designed for the US Navy. The matte black dial is complemented by a unique moisture indicator that changes color if water resistance deteriorates. The silver-toned steel construction and specially designed rotating bezel, which only rotates when pressed, give the model an authentic military feel. A historically charged watch that was first launched commercially in 2021.
Comfort
The durable, finely woven nylon NATO strap is designed to withstand repeated contact with water and sits securely on the wrist for both everyday wear and activity. The well-balanced 41mm case makes the model comfortable to wear, while the double-domed sapphire crystal enhances both durability and readability. Luminous hands and markers make the watch usable even in dark environments.
Why choose Bulova 98A266
This model offers authentic military history in a modern form. With automatic mechanics, a unique moisture indicator, a specially designed bezel and 20 ATM water resistance, it is built for tough use. At the same time, its authentic design makes it a sought-after collector's and everyday watch. An ideal choice for those who appreciate robustness, heritage and real function.
