Watch Description

Gold plate with steel back, 29mm wide, 30mm at recessed crown, 34mm at lugs. White face with luminous hands and numerals. 10AK movement with triangle (1945) date symbol.   Picked this up recently. Runs and keeps time for around 24 hours so I'm pleased so far. I first believed this was an Air Warden but after looking through the site, I'm not sure. It more closely resembles one here listed as a 1943 unknown model so I'm hoping to get an accurate identification.  -  Thanks

Hmmm this one is unusual.   The crown is recessed which sets this apart from the Air Warden, Watertite, Watertight and others.   I cannot seem to find a match.   Unknown for me.

Thanks. I've only recently started looking into older watches and really like the Bulovas. I have a 74 Accutron Railroad that was my father's that I had serviced and wear on occasion. Think I'll get this one cleaned up and put it in the rotation.

Was contemplating nominating Military Non-Issue, but as we know it may have been sold under a model name that we have yet to come across.

Unknown for now.
