The Bulova VWI Special Edition is a 38 mm field-style automatic watch built around a Miyota 8S20-43A 21-jewel movement with a 42-hour power reserve. It pairs a black dial with luminescent hands and markers, a 24-hour center track, a domed mineral crystal and a green nylon strap, and the screw-back case carries a glass insert with the VWI logo. It suits people who want a compact, military-inspired automatic with a cause behind it rather than a dress watch. Against rivals at the same level it stands out for the 24-hour track and the Veteran's Watchmaker Initiative tie-in, while its mineral crystal and 30 m water resistance are modest next to sapphire and 100 m field watches.
