Bulova Green Dial CORDURA + HNBR Strap MIL SHIPS 98A324vsSignum Cuda

Owners widely praise the Bulova Green Dial CORDURA + HNBR Strap MIL SHIPS 98A324 for its unique concept and historical connection to a U.S. Navy prototype, with one owner finding it suitable for multiple dives. Some owners find the 16mm strap too narrow for the 41mm case and consider the proportions and bezel odd, while others acknowledge its good looks but feel it is overpriced for its Miyota movement. On balance, owners appreciate the Bulova Green Dial CORDURA + HNBR Strap MIL SHIPS 98A324 for its distinctive design and historical inspiration, despite some reservations about its strap width and perceived value.

Owners widely praise the Signum Cuda's distinctive dial options, particularly the Lapis Lazuli and thermally blued meteorite, noting how they play with light. The lume on the bezel and markers is also frequently highlighted as fantastic. However, multiple owners report that the lume on the hands significantly underperforms compared to the rest of the watch, rendering them unreadable in low light. One owner experienced condensation inside the watch despite the crown being screwed in, leading to concerns about build quality, while another owner stated their Cuda has been fine in water. The bezel action was initially stiff for one owner but improved after lubrication. The Signum Cuda is powered by a Miyota 9015 automatic movement and features 200m water resistance with a 42.5mm case. On balance, owners rate the Signum Cuda highly for its unique dial aesthetics and strong bezel/marker lume, despite consistent criticism regarding the hand lume performance.
