Watch Description

This is pretty odd shaped Bulova dress watch from 1974, black dial, "t-swiss-t" marked, very 70's, I believe pretty rare. I have seen besides this only one on the web. I have no idea what model it could, if Bulova ever named it. It's a N4 (1974) on the case back, the 11AOACD caliber is an N2 (1972), see detailed photo.

Wow, I can honestly say I have never seen one like it before. Love the chunky sleek 70's thing. No ad found for this one. My first thought was Jet Star, but they were all 17J.  Sorry, but it's currently an unknown for me.

I can also say I've not seen anything like it and my first throught was 1980s watch.

I love these big chunky watch cases from the 1970's. Wish we had a name.

I believe I found a match in the 1976 Linebook BAWD0200 page 105.  It looks to be overly polished but a match.

Great, thanks !

These linebooks are really great, a super source of information, would be nice if you could put them, at some point, on line for consultation.
Thanks again
