Introducing the Bulova Men's Archive Series MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 Stainless Steel 3-Hand Hack Automatic Watch, the latest addition to the coveted Archive Series. This timepiece pays homage to a prototype that was never released to the public, making it a truly exclusive and sought-after piece for watch enthusiasts. And now, for the first time ever, you have the opportunity to own this luxury watch. Inspired by a timepiece developed for the U.S.
Navy, the MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 boasts a unique paper strip on the dial that serves as an indicator for moisture. Should water ever breach its impressive water resistance of up to 200 meters, this strip will change color, giving you peace of mind and ensuring the reliability of your watch. One of the standout features of this watch is the rotating top ring. Unlike traditional watches, the top ring of the MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 will only rotate once it is pressed down.
This adds a touch of innovation and functionality to the timepiece, showcasing Bulova's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. The black matte dial is beautifully contrasted against the stainless steel case, creating a sleek and sophisticated look. Completing the sporty yet elegant aesthetic is the slate blue NATO strap. Made from finely-woven nylon material designed to withstand continuous water contact, this strap perfectly complements the overall design and provides exceptional comfort. The Bulova Men's Archive Series MIL-SHIPS-W-2181 Watch is not just a timepiece, it's a statement.
