The Bulove Military VWI Special Edition Chronograph is a direct result of their collaboration with the Veteran Watchmaker’s Initiative (VWI), blending modern movement technology with vintage design inspiration. The watch features a 42.5mm silver-tone stainless steel cushion case topped with a distinct coin-edge fluted bezel. The military green dial features a six-handed, tri-compax layout with dedicated sub dials for running seconds, 1/20th seconds, and 60-minute indicators, as well as a discreet date window located at the 6 o’clock position. Luminous accents on the dial and main hands ensure you can read the time in any low-light environment you might encounter. This watch comes paired with a 22mm saddle brown leather strap, complementing its modern and vintage aesthetics.

This special edition chronograph is powered by Bulova’s NP20 movement, a high-performance quartz movement, the very same movement you’d find inside a modern Lunar Pilot. Operating at a frequency of 262 kHz (eight times higher than a standard quartz), this movement's accuracy is measured in seconds-per-year rather than seconds-per-month. Due to this high frequency, you’ll notice that both the chronograph seconds hand and the small running seconds appear to have a smooth sweep.

Through its vintage design inspiration and custom caseback depiction, this model pays tribute to the Joseph Bulova Watchmaking school, Bulova’s military heritage, and, of course, the modern Veterans Watchmaking Initiative. As such, 10% of proceeds from each sale are dedicated to supporting the VWI’s mission of providing education and career placement for veterans. The Bulova Military VWI Special Edition is currently available for $695 USD through the Windup Watch Shop online, or drop by our Brooklyn showroom to see it in person!
