Bulova A-15 Pilot

Description

The Bulova A-15 Pilot 96A245 is a men's automatic watch inspired by the historical prototype that Bulova developed for the US Army in the 1940s. The classic pilot design combines military functionality with timeless style: the black dial with high-contrast hands and indices ensures excellent legibility, while the 42 mm stainless steel case offers a robust yet elegant presence on the wrist.

The 96A245 is powered by a 21-jewel automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve — no winding required as long as the watch is worn regularly. The brown leather strap underscores the vintage character of this timepiece, lending it a warm, authentic appeal. With a water resistance of 30 metres, the watch is perfectly equipped for everyday wear.

Key Features of the Bulova 96A245

  • 21-jewel automatic movement with 42-hour power reserve for reliable, battery-free operation
  • 42 mm stainless steel case in classic pilot style, inspired by the historic US Army prototype of the 1940s
  • Brown leather strap with tang buckle for an authentic vintage look
