Product Description
The A-15 Pilot Watch is inspired by the 1944 Military Issue A-15 “Elapsed Time Watch” and incorporates unique features of the original. A stainless steel case with distinctive black dial features two rotating inner discs operated by two crowns. The 2H crown rotates elapsed time while the 4H crown indicates dual time. The unique design of this timepiece, as well as its functional features, are made more authentically with a fine 21-jewel automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve.

There are several points to note. Firstly, the leather strap is very fine and looks good. But it is a little loose on smaller wrists, such as my 6" wrist. I'm using a Spring Made modern Bond single pass strap that looks great on this watch. Secondly, the lume is not great. At all. This isn't a problem for me since I switch out for a Deep Blue Commander diver with flat tritium at night. Lastly, the 2 bezel crowns are fairly easy to rotate. However, if you tend to wear above the bone, like I do, the bezels won't randomly rotate.
I'm very pleased that I purchased this watch. It is a great addition to my growing collection.
EDIT: Almost a month in and this watch is still at about +1 second a week, checked daily with an atomic clock app. The timegrapher shows a beat error of .2ms. There's a lot of deviation in different orientations on the timegrapher, but on wrist I am simply amazed at the accuracy of this 82A6 movement. Still 200% satisfaction with this purchase.

Bulova's answer to a call during WWII.
Love the vintage innovative design.
12 hour time elapse without the moving parts of a chronograph.
Swapped out the strap for a steel bracelet.
Beautiful style and function with automatic class and a prestigious fit and finish.

Secondly, for history buffs, very fun watch.
I work in film and television, I use the 12hr bezel to keep track of elapsed hours at work, and the count up bezel to keep track of lunch, weather delays, time spent shooting a scene and so on. (Often we work 12hrs or more and break for lunch 6 hours into our day.)
The water resistance isn’t the best, but on days that I’m not out in a downpour, it’s perfect.
I’ve bumped and banged the sapphire crystal into sharp metal objects and I am still scratch free.
I highly recommend changing the watch band, a leather nato and green nato look best in my opinion.
I have a 6.5” wrist, and I feel very comfortable wearing this watch. And keep in mind, it’s on my wrist for at least 12hrs.
Lastly, it keeps time pretty well, no real complaints. Reserve is accurate and the ability to wind up is a huge bonus.
Great and robust buy for $370.
