10KT RGP Case - Watch was a gift to a family member 25 years of work from the the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company. No band was found. I'm having trouble identifying the mode and was curious if this was a commercial model, or perhaps some model specifically sold in some quantity to large company's like CCI to give to employees. Thanks!
My guess is that it was a model available to anyone, but a particular company could have had some customized. I'm not sure Bulova was doing these company customizations, or if these were done by a jeweler.
I do not find this particular model, but I find several similar using the same case, but different dial, under the Clipper line during the early 70s.
I'm currently at Unknown model, but perhaps someone else will find a match.
1972 Bulova Unknown. Wonderful heirloom!
Bulova did a healthy business making customized watch DIALS. When we were in the Museum they had trays after tray of them. They did not give us any indication that they'd made special cases for commercial companies. My guess is that Cleveland Cliffs bought stock watches and had them personalized.
