Bulova has released the Jimmy A-11 Hack, a re-release of the iconic Type A-11 watch originally supplied to the U.S. military starting in 1942. This new iteration celebrates the upcoming film "Jimmy," which features Bulova timepieces from the WWII era. The watch retains the historical design principles of the original while incorporating modern sizing and materials for contemporary wearability.
- 37mm case diameter
- 50 meters water resistance
- 42 hours power reserve
The Jimmy A-11 Hack features a matte black dial with high-contrast white hands, numerals, and a railroad-style minute track, eschewing the inner 24-hour ring found on some other A-11 models.
The Bulova name on the dial is rendered in a subdued gray, prioritizing the watch's functionality over prominent branding.
A distinctive coin-edge bezel, a hallmark of the A-11 Hack line, is present and noted for its texture and ability to resemble vintage pieces.
The caseback features vertically-stacked acid-etched text markings, an homage to WWII military-issued nomenclature.
Modern conveniences include divots at 1 and 7 o'clock on the caseback for easier servicing.
The watch is equipped with a Miyota Caliber 9039 automatic movement, offering hacking seconds and handwinding capabilities.
The included textile strap has a leather inner lining, described as soft and preventing chafing.
