You watch is called 

PhotoWatch "C"

Flip it open and on the inside end opposite the serial number will be a 2 digit code of a number and letter. It will be "L" (1950's) followed by a number. That is how date is determined.

Can you confirm that the front bezel of the watch is white gold whilst the main body in yellow?

Here is another wonderful example of Bulova Photo Watch. In this case, like your's it also has the white gold front bezel and as such is the "C" variant, as shown on the hang-tag.

What does the "C" specify?

 Thanks

Basically, it just specifies the variant with an engraved white gold frame around the crystal. "A" had a plain frame and "B" had a yellow gold engraved frame.
