Archive Series MIL SHIPS : 98A266

The Bulova 98A266, released in 2021, is part of the Archive Series MIL SHIPS collection. This model, inspired by a prototype developed for the U.S. Navy, features a 41 mm stainless steel case with a thickness of 16 mm. It includes a black matte dial and a distinctive paper strip that changes color if moisture enters the watch, indicating potential water resistance failure up to 200 meters. The watch is equipped with a slate blue NATO strap made from finely-woven nylon, designed to endure continuous water exposure. One notable feature is the top ring mechanism, which only rotates when pressed down, adding an extra layer of functionality. The timepiece combines military-inspired durability with everyday versatility. It embodies both historical significance and modern engineering within Bulova's storied lineup.
