Bulova Military Precisionist 42.5mm 96B482

The Bulova Military VWI Special Edition Chronograph Watch 96B482 is a men’s timepiece that brings together American heritage, military-inspired design, and high-quality Bulova manufacturing. Created in collaboration with the Veteran Watchmaker’s Initiative, this special edition Bulova chronograph honours the brand’s historic connection with the U.S. Armed Forces while supporting the next generation of skilled watchmakers.

Inspired by 1940s military field chronographs, the watch features a bold 42.5mm silver-tone stainless steel cushion case, a distinctive coin-edge fluted bezel, and a military green dial with beige accents for a rugged vintage look. This Bulova men’s watch is designed for those who appreciate purpose, precision, and authentic American watchmaking history.

Built for accuracy and everyday reliability, the Bulova 96B482 is powered by Bulova’s proprietary High-Performance Quartz movement, operating at an impressive 262 kHz for exceptional seconds-per-year accuracy. The six-hand chronograph movement delivers precise elapsed-time measurement, while the smooth sweeping chronograph seconds hand adds a refined mechanical-style feel. A tri-compax sub-dial layout, discreet date window, luminous hands, and domed mineral crystal complete the functional military-inspired design. Finished with a saddle brown leather strap with ivory contrast stitching, this Bulova American Heritage watch offers a confident, masculine style that moves easily from casual wear to smart everyday dressing.

Founded in New York City in 1875, Bulova has built a reputation for innovation, precision, and high-quality watch manufacturing. From creating the world’s first fully electronic wristwatch to supplying timepieces to the United States Military and contributing to NASA missions, Bulova watches remain a symbol of American ingenuity and dependable craftsmanship. The Bulova Military VWI Special Edition Chronograph continues this legacy with a design that feels historic, purposeful, and distinctly modern.

What we love about the Bulova Military VWI Special Edition Chronograph Watch 96B482 is how it stands out for its strong military character, meaningful partnership with the Veteran Watchmaker’s Initiative, and impressive high-precision quartz movement. The green dial, stainless steel cushion case, coin-edge bezel, and brown leather strap give it a masculine vintage look with serious everyday performance, making the Bulova 96B482 a standout choice for collectors and fans of Bulova American Heritage watches.
