Bulova UDT Vintage Watch

Key Points from the Discussion

• Bulova likely produced a small batch of prototypes for the UDT between 1957 and 1959 before discontinuing the project, possibly due to an anticipated low Navy request of only 1,000 examples. The company was also shifting focus to the more commercially promising Accutron project.
• A modern reissue of the Bulova UDT is available at a reasonable price, offering a close reproduction of the original's charm, including its distinctive large domed crystal.
• The modern reissues are considered very accurate reproductions, with new variations, such as a bronze model in blue and green, continuing to attract collectors.
