Bulova revives the A‑11 military field watch with the new Jimmy

Bulova's A-11 Jimmy revisits the utilitarian design language of the military timepieces associated with the Second World War. Its black dial uses large white Arabic numerals, a minute track and luminous hands for a strongly functional display. The pronounced coin-edge detail around the steel case and the beige nylon strap complete a compact, vintage-minded aesthetic.

The silver-tone stainless-steel case measures 37 mm and carries an anti-reflective double-domed sapphire crystal. Inside sits a 24-jewel automatic movement listed by Bulova as calibre 9039, with approximately 42 hours of power reserve. Water resistance is 50 metres, and the lug width is 18 mm.

Priced at US$795 on Bulova's US website when checked, this watch combines the visual clarity of an archival field watch with a modern movement and everyday materials. This is a manufacturer-specification overview, not a hands-on test.
