Fortunately there is a very close reissue available and at a very reasonable price. They are charming and I love its big dome crystal looks. Thanks for sharing amigo Nicolas! Abrazos Abel

Probably Bulova made a small batch of more prototypes between 1957 through 1959 when they decided to stop the project, most probably due to the fact that they extra officialy they learned that the total request of the Navy would be for only 1.000 examples. Bulova was then working in a more interesting project: their revolutionary model "Accutron" which promised to be selling in very large quantities. In any case this nice watch is rare among rare and of course I would love to own an original one
