Naval Military watch Mil. 04 SV Cam US MARINE USN BUSHIPS type UDT 316L. Based on the UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) hydrogen bomb team specifications, which is a special unit of the US Navy in the 1950s, the mil-spec at that time is faithfully reproduced based on the feature of wearing a large crown cap with packing on the crown part. While doing so, the size was updated and the case diameter was expanded to 36 mm (excluding the crown). 316L stainless steel is used for the case and case back material. The windshield is a reproduction of the acrylic dome windshield to give it an antique feel. Adopting a Swiss quartz movement, it is a product that can withstand modern use in terms of functionality. The luminous paint for the numbers, indexes and hands on the dial is “LumiNova (R)” paint, which is only allowed to be used in Swiss watches, and the luminous time and light are enhanced compared to normal Luminous. As it is waterproof to 5 bar, it can be used for daily water work and work. If you have questions, please tell me. International Buyers – Please Note.

WATCH SPECS Brand: Elgin Model: USN BuShips Canteen Reference: N/A Year: 1940s Material: Stainless Steel Dimensions: 32mm diameter, 40mm w/crown, 12mm thickness w/ crystal Crystal: Acrylic Lume: Radium Caliber: Elgin 539 manual movement Bracelet/Strap: Vintage style army green ZULU strap Lug Width: 16mm Note: No guarantees of water resistance because of its age. ABOUT THIS WATCH While the early genesis of waterproof watches include historical designs such as the Rolex Oyster, Cartier Pasha & Omega Marine, this USN BuShips Canteen watch is notable for being the US Militarys first watch designed for heavy underwater duty. Made for the US Navys Bureau of Ships, whose responsibilities included supervising the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of ships and other craft for the Navy, this watch made by Elgin predated the first iterations of what we now know as modern style dive watches such as the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms and Rolex Submariner and was useful during important tasks such as underwater demolition. As the crown of any watch has the highest potential for water ingress, the screw on canteen cap was a tactful albeit highly conspicuous way of completely enclosing the winding and setting crown. At only 32mm, its definitely small by todays watch size standards, but the gargantuan crown cap lends itself a nice presence on the wrist while also being very easy to read due to the large radium numerals and simple field watch layout. If youve ever seen other examples of this watch youll probably know that this one here is one the the most immaculate examples found which means it probably missed out on the life it was supposed to live, carrying out critical and dangerous tasks for the US Navy. All the better for it. This watch will be the perfect accessory for a discerning collector to own and take Instagram wristshots of while pairing it with a vintage military jacket, half-tucked denim shirt, white jeans, and loafers. You know, standard vintage watch collector outfit. If you have any questions or would like more photos please contact me. Want to add that the crystal is original and is actually made of glass, not acrylic. This watch is 100% original.
