US Navy Bureau of Ships
Swiss Made Quartz Canteen Combat Military Watch
This is your opportunity to own a piece of history that Captures
the spirit of the unwavering dedication and bravery of our military forces.
Originally crafted specifically for the US Navy's Bureau of Ships, which held the vital responsibility of overseeing the construction, maintenance, and repair of naval vessels and other watercraft, this watch predates the early iterations of modern dive watches like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Rolex Submariner. Its inception predates these renowned timepieces, making it an instrumental companion during crucial underwater tasks, including underwater demolition.
The watch's distinctive feature lies in its screw-on canteen cap, strategically designed to fully enclose the winding and setting crown. Recognizing that the crown is the most vulnerable point for water infiltration, this ingenious solution not only safeguards the watch's functionality but does so with a noticeable flair.
This extraordinary reproduction timepiece pays tribute to the storied legacy of the United States Navy. A faithful recreation of the original military design, it upholds the same durability and functionality that proved indispensable in combat situations. Its historical significance and exceptional characteristics serve as a testament to the unwavering commitment and courage displayed by our esteemed military personnel.
