Description

For sale is a 1959 Bulova manual-wind military watch, model number 3818-A. The watch is all original and powered by a Bulova caliber 10BNCH, a 17-jewel manual-wind movement with hacking seconds. The luminous material on the dial and hands has developed an attractive pumpkin-colored patina.

We serviced this watch in April 2026 as part of a routine preventive overhaul. Nothing was broken, and no repairs were needed. During the service, the movement was fully disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, timed, and adjusted for accuracy. The watch is running well and functioning properly. It is backed by a one-year warranty through our store.
