Watch Description

This is a rare as hens teeth model is excellent condition.   This is a 1967 or 1969 Minute Man "P".  It is a 10KT RGP yellow gold case and case back with an M7 date code.  The movement is a 6CL with an M9 date code.  I am certain this is the original movement so I am not sure of the date of this watch.  The crystal is oval with faceted edges covering a starburst dial with non-numeric hour markers.

Wow, that's an interesting one I personally have never seen. I'm with you on dating it. Case is obviously an unusual one and was produced in 1967. If it was a common model, my inclination would be to date it by the movement. Based on scarcity, I would date it by the case, noting movement date discrepancy. What line book did you find this beauty in?

I don't think the gilt movements were used in 1967, so that could be a replacement; or perhaps the earlier case was old stock brought into production a couple years later.

Case 2767 calls for the 6CL/6CT per the case book, so that is the correct movement model.

Good match to the Minuteman 'P'

Yes it does which might be why there is only one other one on the site.   Clearly not a good selling watch and both models we have on the site are in excellent condition so I would think a guy might not have wanted to wear this one because of that,

I would date it as 1967 Bulova Minute Man P

Agree with Ken that the 2767 case did indeed come with a 6CL movement according to the 1972 ABC Catalogue.
