In reply to November 1940 ad. Lone Eagle by bobbee
Note the above advert, the Lone Eagle and Ambassador are around the wrong way. They should be swapped.
March 1946 ad.
American Clipper and Victoria.

His Excellency "YY"
hmmm, bloody good question!
In reply to hmmm, bloody good question! by FifthAvenueRes…
Any chance if a high res version so we can see the dial. Certainly has the look of a Watertite and others, but Bobbee raises an interesting point.
Not, but still Bulovas in ad.
Price is a giveaway.
Nearly every jeweler had a cheap waterproof for sale, Jerin has probably seen hundreds of ads like this, where they place them next to a well-known brand, trying to sucker the buyer into thinking they are getting a bargain.
Generic Chronograph for me until we see a better advert. It certainly could be a Medico as its the only model we have seen as a single push button chrono with center sweep hand.
In reply to Generic Chronograph for me by mybulova_admin
I have a one button chrono Bulova.
