Bulova Miss America

1934 Bulova Helena (first time seen). Have also found adverts showing this as yet another "Miss America". Seems every second ladies Bulova advertised during this period was labeled as such.

1935 engraved version without a name.

1933 Bulova Bernard

Possible new model names of Hunter and Mayor.  From a 1939 sales booklet.  Hoping to get clearer photos soon and I will replace them.

June 1939 - Bulova Lido

Here is an ad from 1935 showing the center sweep.second version of the Trident called a Nurses Watch. The ad clearly states it comes in several models for both men and women.  The ad shows an engraved and I wonder if a non-engraved model was one of the other models.

An early ad for an Aeronaut model in 10KT white gold plate and center second.  

1936 Bulova Aeronaut  

The Plain Speaker (Hazleton, Pennsylvania) · 8 Dec 1936

Interesting ad for a model called a 1938 Bulova Virginian.  I assume it is supposed to be a Virginia but putting this out here just in case.

Bulova 1932 Sportsman

The Courier-Journal (Louisville, Kentucky) · 23 Sep 1932

1938 Bulova Rozel. (new name)

1932 Bulova Maxim

Star-Gazette (Elmira, New York) · 9 Dec 1932, Fri · Page 9

Ad confirming the 1938 Bulova Ranger came in white and yellow gold models.   All other ads say yellow gold. This model seems to have come in engraved and unengraved also based on the one ad posted showing an engraved version.
