Review: the Bulova A-11 “Jimmy”
By Elodie Townsend
Verdict: positive
Elodie Townsend of Worn & Wound reviews the Bulova A-11 "Jimmy", a re-release of the Hack field watch tied to the film Jimmy. Townsend spent three weeks with the 37mm watch and found its size and slim 11.2mm profile comfortable on an average wrist. The coin-edge bezel and acid-etched caseback stand out as the design's strongest details. Townsend judges the watch a perfect everyday carry piece and says Bulova relied on its design strengths rather than Hollywood influence. The watch retails for $795.
