Bulova manual wind watch with second hand as a small second window. Has a red bull type logo below the Bulova name plate. Silver case with black face, thin hour and minute hand, all markers are dashes and no second markers. I received the watch as a gift around 2001 and don't have any details on date or model. I have looked through the decade links and I see similarities to the '59 President model, the '62 Drake model and most similar to '64 Squadron model (except face color). It seems like there may be a stamp on the back of the case, but it is very faint and I cannot make it out (I think it may be an M, follow by 4 #s, 0128 maybe) and something else above that stamp, but I also cannot make it out.
Thank you for posting your watch. This logo was used by Bulova in International markets. This appears to be similar to this 1959 Bulova Pandora ad. I believe this might be a black dial version of this watch. Unsure of the date but late 1950's-early 1960's looks about right.

I used a magnifying glass to see the engraving on the back case. There is a rectangle box with "Bulova" engraved, under that is says "swiss" and 1-10851. There also appears to be a larger circular design on the back case but it is difficult to make out. Any thoughts anyone has would be much appreciated. Thank you.
After more inspection there is a circular design above the stamped Bulova - it is a circle with Roman numerals I - X with a man in the center (sorta looks like Hercules, or some other similar time frame strongman). I am interested to know what this is, and learn the history behind it. Thank you to anyone who might have some information.
