Watch Description

Today I am posting an other Bulova  from my collection the “23 Jewels” - 1969, caliber Bulova 10CPACD NOTE : I have written on the mybulova forum about 3 years ago when I purchased this watch, in the US, I was asking info about this specific caliber as I could not find, not even on RANFFTR detailed info and i was told that this caliber is a very good USA in-house Bulova movement of course, related to the 10CPAC and to the 10COAC but no specific reference to this very caliber. I love the roman numerals, but I don't know if there is a specific model for this "23 Jewels" ? I know that the "23 jewels" line had about 60 different models ?
Thanks. Roby

Another nice one, Roby. As far as I know, this watch was sold with a band with a rolling calendar in it and was named Time Center. Here is another.

I may be wrong, but I don't think this watch with Roman numeral face and 23 jewels was released as anything else but Time Center.  This face and case combo was marketed as a couple different Date King models, but they were 17 or 30 jewels. 

EDIT:

1969 Time Center "D" noting replaced band.

1969 Bulova Time Center D looks to be a good match.

thanks again to all for the interesting info.

I assume that the "1969 Bulova Time Center D" model is one of the 60+ models off the !23 jewels" line.

thanks again
