Watch Description

This watch is a miniture version of the Bulova Surgeon.  As it's a woman's style watch, it has always been known as a Nurse's Watch.  Recently an ad was found naming this the American Nurse.  That works out well!

This particular watch has been double stamped with the Omega -1940 and Astrick -1941 which has been handstamped over.

It sports a 17 Jewel, 7AM movement and the case while worn in a couple spots shows excellently.

Look at all the wonderful watchmakers marks in that case.  It must have been well taken care of in it's 70 years of existance.   This watch sets and runs well.

True.  It might be in the country illegally.  Plains may be harboring a fugitive.  You Canadians are ALL trouble.

Oh, No worries all, I found the "Canadian Nurse". Had her locked up in my sock drawer! Good thing my little lady doesn't go in there. I'd be in deep.................... lol

1940 American Nurse 3 ticks....  (I did read the crystal size discrepency, but ....)

If subject watch was a 1942 would it be a Canadian nurse?

You know... I don't think this is the Nurse anymore gents.... the more I look at it... and with this new ad, I think this is a young boys "Sport" model.

How come, Nurse watch still is a perfect match. Could be a year thing.

Whats the year of publication for the advert above? I'm certainly not seeing and noticable difference id adverts.

I say it's still the Nurse model. Ad shown is inconclusive to a different name - unless we think "Sport Model' is the name (and I don't). We have too much pointing to the "Nurse" ID.

I agree, the low-res sports watch doesn't give us any new information, other than a different name. Doesn't indicate it was made for a boy and the price in consistant with a mens version watch. You would expect a 'boys' version to be a cheaper 7 jewel movement perhaps.

I'm still good with the Nurses Watch ID.
