This watch has a swirl effect dial, possibly the "snow drift" on the President "E", from the 1964 ads. 34mm. X 41mm. X 18mm. lug gape. Seller specifies the watch is only sold outside the U.S. and that is where the name comes from. All photo's are with the seller's, Empressissi's permission.
Just repeating what I heard on Star Trek!
Excellent ad find Bob, keep your eyes to the sky, looks like there is another theory that is about to come crashing down...
certainly does Greg, the theory that the subject Watch is called the 'INTERNATIONAL' as there is no proof.
The ad shows several readily identifiable Watches, almost readily identifiable as it's a little blurred, none of which are an 'INTERNATIONAL', they are termed part of the 'INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION'.
obviously reason is not a part of this equasion.
You post one reason against the subject name, and it turns into overwhelming evidence!
This watch is from 1960 and may not be from the International line, but the name on the dial kind of does it for the rest of us "reasonable people".
And for the love of God, use the spell checker.
3 reasons to Date.
1. There is evidence presented to show Bulova International Ltd is a subsiduary arm of Bulova Watch Co. - their International arm.
2. There is evidence presented to show a group of Watch models existed under the blanket title of: 'INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION'.
3. There is no evidence to support any individual model named the 'INTERNATIONAL'.
To the contrary the 'INTERNATIONAL COLLECTION' is made up of uniquely named models, models having their own identity.

Notice the name of the watch, bottom left corner under the picture?
Men's International no. 511104 Waterproof Self-Winding.
There is a ladies line too.
Well we now have proof that Bulova did indeed release a model line called 'International' similar to the AA, His Exc, Her Exc, Ambassador, President and so on and so on....
Ad mentions selling the Bulova watch brand at a truelly international level taking on stylings not normally seen in the US and influenced by European designs.
ID remains unchanged for me. Good find on the adverts Bobbee!

Thanks, Stephen.
Ad is from the Far East, making Bulova a truly International brand!
In your mind it is, but not in mine.
Do we know for a fact that all the 23's are American produced? I can't even find one in the db. Isn't 23 being used as a model ID?
