HISTORY & DESIGN
The history and details behind this watch.
There are two main historical versions of the BUSHIPS WATCH, one of M.R.M.W.’s flagship designs.
In the 1940s, Buships watches were supplied by both Elgin and Hamilton for special operations units drawn from elite U.S. Army and Navy personnel.
The Elgin version has been recreated several times, including by M.R.M.W. When we developed this Hamilton-inspired version, our original description noted that it had not previously been recreated. Perhaps this is because its defining crown cap is smaller and less conspicuous than Elgin’s.
Buships watches also used a variety of dials. We gave the rare small-seconds dial an antique finish and paired it with leather to create a more understated, mature interpretation of the Buships watch.
