By Mvmnt date code and case serial# i believe this to be a 1942 model. Case is 14k Rose Gold Filled with articulating driving lugs. Case width is 24.6mm square excluding crown with approx 55m overall including the lugs. Approx 39mm springbar to spring bar.
10AK Bulova USA mvmnt with arrow date code, Blued hands and copper toned dial.
Having trouble finding a model name or any adverts for this model.
Commonly called a drivers watch. This case was made by A third party case manufacturer and sold to multiple watch companies including Longines Bulova Hamilton and Elgin. It is called a drivers watch as it’s intended to be worn on the side of the wrist so that your hand does not need to be removed from the steering wheel while driving. Earlier models have hinged lugs but some of the later ones have fixed lugs. Nice watch but unfortunately we do not have any documentation of a name for this one.

There was a suggestion years ago that this might be a Bulova Chief.
Whilst we have an advert for the 1942 Bulova Chief, I'm not sure it's been backed up by another advert.
Alas unknown for now.
Are you able to advise what the crystal dimension are?
