Watch Description

This 1974 Bulova has me stumped as well. I got it from a retired watch repair guy along with a dozen other repaired but unclaimed Bulovas from the 1930's to 1970's.

Hi SgtSwanson, welcome to mybulova. I like this one, it's strikingly similar to my unknown, except for face and date window  placement.

We speculate it (linked 1973) might be part of the Oceanographer family but Alas, without ad verification

1974 Unknown for now..

Nice watch, I think the finish is called 'bark'. I do not see a match in the advert dB.

Another nice one!  What a shame so many left their watches unclaimed but nice for you that he held on to them.

Are there import codes on the balance bridge? What markings on the inside case back?

Could be a number only model by this time, though there were some names still being advertised.

Unknown model name, for now
