This Bulova A-15 pilot watch revives one of the watchmaking art's most fascinating military designs from World War II. Originally developed in 1944 for U.S. Army Air Force pilots, the A-15 "Elapsed Time Watch" was a revolutionary instrument that allowed pilots to accurately track mission time and different time zones. The black dial with its distinctive rotating inner rings, controlled by two separate crowns, testifies to a time when precise timekeeping was crucial for successful flight missions. In this modern interpretation, historical significance meets contemporary watchmaking with a reliable Miyota 82S6 automatic movement. Key benefits: - Authentic military heritage from 1944 - Two rotating inner rings for time measurement - Dual time zone function - Miyota 82S6 automatic movement - Double domed sapphire glass - Anti-reflective coating - Original military-inspired design - 42-hour power reserve Technical specifications: - Case diameter: 42mm - Movement: Miyota 82S6 automatic - Number of jewels: 21 - Frequency: 21,600 vibrations per hour - Accuracy: -20/+40 seconds per day - Power reserve: 42 hours - Water resistance: 30m - Glass: Double domed sapphire with anti-reflective - Dial: Black with white and yellow markers - Strap: Brown leather with contrast stitching - Buckle: Three-piece wire strap buckle - Special features: * Dual time zone display * Elapsed time indicator * Hack function * Two control crowns at 2 and 4 o'clock * Automatic and manual winding The brown leather strap with characteristic topstitching completes the historical design. As a tribute to one of Bulova's most innovative military watches, this A-15 reissue represents the perfect meeting of historical significance and modern precision. A must-have for both watch enthusiasts, pilots, and collectors with an interest in military history.

Product Description

12 + 24 hours
The time is also presented in 24 hours format.

Luminous layer
A luminous layer provides a long-term lightning effect in the dark. It requires only a short-term exposure to light. Usually the pointers, and sometimes the hour markers are coated with this.

Leather Strap
This strap is made ​​of leather.

Sapphire glass
Sapphire is up to 7 times harder than steel, and surpassed only by diamonds on the Mohs scale. This makes sapphire glass a great protection for your watch.

Automatic clockwork
This watch automatically charges from the energy caused by your movement. If the battery is emptied, it only needs a few seconds of movement/energy to start working again.

Water protection: 30 meters (3 bar)
This watch can withstand rain/minor splashes, and cannot be used while swimming or showering. The value refers to the pressure in water, at that depth, while motionless... and should not be seen as the depth for wearing the watch..

Condensation - important!
Rapid changes in temperature can cause condensation inside the watch. If you notice moisture beneath the glass, you should immediately go to a watchmaker, who can open and dry the watch. Even if the signs of moisture disappear, by themselves... the moisture will not - and will eventually damage your watch - so, visit a professional and remove it permanently. Even waterproof watches are not protected against condensation, so keep that in mind if you plan to go from very hot to very cold temperatures - like from a hot sauna directly to the snow. If condensation occurs, it very rarely (if ever) depends on manufacturing, so if your watch is damaged by moisture, the warranty will probably not cover it (it could be manufacturing issues, but... most likely it will be because of the rapid change of temperature = natural causes).

Size This watch has a width of 42 mm (the dial, measured from left to right, with the crown excluded). Even if some watches are not perfectly circle shaped, we still use the term: diameter - and we only measure the case, completely ignoring the crown (even though some includes it, in their measurements).

Case made of stainless steel.

Sizes
Does this watch fit your wrist? Wristwatches has gradually become larger in size, and a typical men's watch is usually between 40 and 45 mm wide. If you have a wrist that is noticeable larger/smaller, we recommend that you focus on the sizes in/outside the outer edges of the typical sizes. You are always welcome to contact our support, so we can share our experience with you.

    Size Guide


    How is the size of the watch measured?
    The diameter
    The common term is diameter, but since not all watches have circular watch cases, the diameter is actually the width measured from left to right. Note that some manufacturers include the crown (to set the clock) and the buttons when measuring the width, but we try to standardize all the watches by not including the crown as part of the measured width.

    size info
    Case Thickness
    The thickness - or height of the watch in profile - is indicated by measuring the watch from top to bottom as illustrated below. By comparison, a 1-euro coin is 2.33 millimeters thick.
    One usually defines the watches with these numbers:
    Slim: 4-6 millimeter
    Normal: 6-12 millimeter
    Big: 12-14 millimeter
    Oversize: 14-18 millimeter

    Tools and maintainance

    If you buy this watch together with: Watch sizing tool for metal bands (€19.9 value) and To change strap/spring bars - (€14 value); tools to easily adjust/replace your bracelet/strap, we will give you a big discount.

    We also recommend Cape Cod Polishing Cloth, for removing scratches on metal - or if you just want to make it look new again. If you have scratches on glass, then this is the item for you: Beco Polywatch Lens Polishing Cream 211147.
