I am a little conflicted over the ID on this one. All of the other Clipper models have even numbers only where this one has all 12. The minute track looks correct and the seconds track as well. I just viewed a 1937 Commander with the white face and this now seems to be what this watch is only with a black face. http://www.mybulova.com/watches/1937-Commander-50 - Is it possible that this is a Clipper case with a commander face? Looking closer at the two cases there are more tiers on my case than the commander case.
Hmmm... Interesting...
The 1936- 38ish American Clipper case = only the only "A - C" dial variants, in the several period crystal catalogs I have... But this might well be another yet "unknown" model, then?!

I went through my "Needs Work" box on new arrivals and found I have two other American Clipper watches. A 1936 Clipper B and a 1937 Clipper B.
Now the interesting part... The 1937 has the standard clipper dial with the even numbers and hash marks for the odd numbers. The 1936 has full numbering and a hinged case. In examining the case closely the hinge looks original and not added. There is an external flange line or lip on the bezel half to reinforce the area around the hinge pin.
And unfortunately all three faces have different measurements.
Daca, in my post I advised you to take measurements of your crystal and check them against the specs listed in my post for the Crockett and the American Clipper. Did you do that, and, if so, what measurements did you get?
Also, I have to note that your case does not have the engraved bezel shown in the Crockett ad, and your case looks more like the Clipper with the thinner bezel.
You really need to confirm this ID against the crystal specs, as the two cases look the same but are not. The question of which model this is does not rest solely on the dial.
