Hey everybody, it’s been a while, but I have another stumper. Automatic movement. Off white dial with Arabic markers marked self winding. The case has no lugs and fits inside an external case which houses the watch body. I’ve never seen anything like it and don’t even know how to remove the case back. No obvious pry points or areas to rotate. F832724 M2 stamped on caseback. I wish I could provide more information. The watch is truly in amazing condition and I don’t want to try to get it apart to look at the movement. It is working flawlessly.
Thank you for posting your watch. I had to go to the 1963 Linebook to find a match. The linebook shows a Jet Clipper A.

I was wondering if that was the route to take, but I don’t think I’ll be digging any deeper since it’s working well and keeping good time. Thank you for the information!
Confirming I'm seeing a M2 for 1962?

Definitely M2 inscribed on the caseback.
1962 Bulova Jet Clipper "A" gets my vote.
Same here!
1962 Bulova Jet Clipper "A"
Looking through some of the old ads and similar watches, I don't see many that pop in and out of the external case. I see the description of the Jet Clipper A, but this feature isn't mentioned. Was it a feature of all of them, or was there a separate name or variant model number for this feature? It is honestly the first like this I have ever seen. . .

This was a somewhat common case configuration for some of the thinner waterproof watches. As you look at watches you will find many case variations were used thru the years.
