Omar Bradley was a senior officer of the United States Army during and after World War II, rising to the rank of General of the Army and was the last of the nine individuals promoted to five-star rank in the United States Armed Forces. He was the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Truman and oversaw the U.S. military's policymaking in the Korean War.

Five-star General Omar Bradley served as the Chairman of the Board for the Bulova Watch Company from 1958 until 1973. During World War II, Bulova established the Joseph Bulova School of Watchmaking to rehabilitate disabled veterans. General Bradley was a vocal champion of this program, linking his own deep devotion to troops with Bulova's mission to train former soldiers and provide post-service job placement. Today, this legacy is carried on by the Veterans Watchmaking Initiative.
