Nicolas (amanico) provides an exclusive first look at the Bulova Mil Ships re-edition, a collaboration between Bulova and collector Adam Victor. His initial impressions and side-by-side comparison of the limited and standard editions offer critical insights for collectors considering this historically inspired diver. This article synthesizes community discussion around Nicolas's original post, adding further depth to the understanding of these compelling timepieces.

While I had the impression that it was a Bulova UDT. Anyway, it is a great work made in collaboration between the brand and a passionate collector who I happen to know, Adam Victor.

Two versions, both sharing exactly the same details ( domed sapphire, 41 mm case, case back, hands, moisture indicator , bezel) at the exception of four things: The movement ( Sellita for the limited edition ) the mention " Swiss Made " which is lacking on the dial of the non LE which has a Miyota movement, the band, and the price, which is the double for the LE. Aaah, and the packaging of he LE which is a diver's helmet .

The LE:

The Miyoata:

I must say that I am pretty convinced...

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The limited edition of the Bulova Mil Ships re-edition is noted to be thicker than the standard version, primarily due to a more bulbous sapphire crystal.
Beyond the movement and the 'Swiss Made' dial text, there are other subtle differences between the limited and standard editions, as highlighted by a community member's shared image.
Availability of the limited edition appears to be geographically restricted, with one collector noting it might be exclusive to the USA.
The thread includes visual contributions from collectors, showcasing the watch and adding to the overall appreciation of its design.

Very nice design overall. I love that seconds hand.

Are those applied hour markers?

Not applied. Treated the same way than the original.

Beautiful but I am not comfortable with strap width

16 between the lugs. I think the original was the same.

Beautiful piece

And a compelling price point too. Strap width is a unique flavour, being to slender, and I like it.

Yes, it looks very vintage, the strap width...
