 As countless battlefronts in the Pacific, African, and European theaters called for direct amphibious assaults against islands and beachheads, a small corps of exceptionally skilled fighting men was formed.  These men undertook never-before-attempted missions ranging from recon of enemy-held positions to the demolition of shoreline obstacles clearing the way for landing craft. This elite corps of US Navy underwater warriors, nicknamed FROGMEN, became the forerunners of todays US Navy Seals.

This is a brand new US Navy BU Ships Canteen Type 1940s World War II style wrist watch, Model WR16155. is a new re-creation of the original underwater timepieces issued by the United States Navy during World War II to the U.S. Navy Frogmen!

This high quality timepiece boasts a SOLID STAINLESS STEEL case and screw down gasketed stainless steel back which is stamped: USN BU SHIPS (United States Navy - Bureau of Ships). It is fitted on a quality re-creation of the military World War II style one piece olive green khaki canvas strap with steel buckle. It has a non-glare semi domed crystal of hardened acrylic, and just like the originals the SCREW DOWN CANTEEN Style crown cover is attached to a steel O-ring chain secured to the side of the case to prevent loss.  The watch is water resistant to 3 atmospheres per the manufacturer's specifications.

To assure dependability and accurate time keeping, this rugged time piece is powered by a precision ISA 1148 caliber modern QUARTZ movement with the HACK SET battlefield synchronization feature. When you pull out the crown the seconds hand and movement stops...this is known as HACK SETTING, and is a handy feature for synchronization with other watches for military use and for to the second time keeping.

The historically correct dial is black satin enamel finished and is signed U.S.N. BU SHIPS below the 12 in raised subdued black lettering. It has BLUED STEEL LUMINOUS hands, white center SWEEPING seconds hand, a 60 minute outer track, and bold white Arabic numerals.

Case measures 46mm lug tip to lug tip, 44mm including the threaded screw-down Canteen crown cover, and 13mm in thickness, and 18mm between the lugs.  Watches of the 30's, 40's, and 50's were smaller than what is being produced today. This watch is a recreation of the original, and is therefore similar in size to the watches of that era. 

This outstanding timepiece is FULLY GUARRANTEED AND BACKED BY A ONE YEAR WARRANTEE.  (Zeno-USA, EOD, Aero-Chrono, ARE REGISTERED TRADE MARKS.  Aero-Chrono, located in the United States, is a premier maker of expertly crafted and combat rugged military timepieces).
