Watch Description

The watch is a match for this previously posted example: https://mybulova.com/watches/1960-international-4441 minus the word "international" on the dial.  There was debate on whether to call it an "International" or a "Bulova 23".  33mm across (without the crown), 41mm lug to lug, 18mm lug width.  Signed crown.  "M0" date code on both the movement and the caseback.  Keeps great time to boot.  One of my favourites for sure.

Based on case markings and overall appearance, agreed.

Very sharp simple design; I would also say it is from the International line.

I wonder if the automatic 10BPAC/10BZAC line was limited to the USA 23-jewel market (and perhaps Canada), and the 11AFAC/11ALAC 23-jewel covered watches outside of the US.

I do not see any import code on the movement so I agree that this is a 1960 Bulova International.  Classic lines.  Another great one from XB49.
