I'm actually going against the grain on this one and saying it's a Bulova 23.

Reasons are:

  • 1955 is to early for 23J round BBs
  • There are a number of 1955 adverts showing a four diamond model listed as a Bulova 23
  • The earliest advert I have found for a 23 jeweled BB is 1957 with most appearing from 1959 onwards.

Based on the year alone I'm incline to ID this as a Bulova 23 with unknown variant, but my gut tells me that if we do find a later BB 6 diamond configuration that the variant will be the same. I believe they simply rebadged these diamond versions as BBs post 1955.
