    A Manual Military type re-issue?

    Also, consider possibly a Japanese mechanical movement. If you like the look and want Swiss or American made, consider Hamilton, or vintage.

    It looks small, or maybe a large crown.

    Only thing I've found like this is a Quartz movement. Bulova branded and looks exactly the same. Priced at $100-$150. Reviews are good.
    Could be like the Buships diver replicas . exterior appearance correct but with a modern Japanese Quartz movement.
    Could be they decided to offer it as mechanical, but I'm not hopeful.
    Then again Timex got bold with it's Marlin re-issue.

    PS
    Just took a second look. The Bulova with quartz movement has the accutron tuning fork design on the dial. Could be this newer offering without the fork is a mechanical.

    Definitely look like Hamilton Khaki.
    But Bulova heritage is strong in the US, it should talk to customers there

    Well disappointed.
    Specs from Macy's website
    "Movement: three-hand quartz
    • Case: round stainless steel; 38mm
    • Strap: black leather
    • Dial: black with luminous numerals
    • Water resistance: to 30 meters
    • Warranty: 3-year limited
    • Limited Edition
    • Created for Macy's"
    • If it were a mechanical hand winder I might consider it. As is its just a cosmetic replica, and over priced as such. In fact I've seen what may be identical military styled quartz watches from China, this may simply be a rebranded cheap Chinese watch.

    It's a good looking watch, but I would prefer the Hamilton.
