Watch Description

I searched the database and was unable to find this model either by year or by looking through the ads. It has the Crescent Moon date code on the movement, dating it to either 1928 or 1938. The case measures 25.2 mm wide not including the crown, and 36.5 mm lug to lug.

1938 Bulova American Clipper is correct. 

This style came in a few variants, yellow, white, strap and bracelet. The yellow bracelet version you see in the above advert is the "D" variant. As your watch doesn't have this original bracelet and looks to have something produced later, I could suggest that we ID as the "B" (strap) variant, but am happy to keep as a generic American Clipper for now.
