Great looking watch!  And good ID.  We date by the case date code so it would be nice to see a photo of the back of the case if you can add it please.  Linebook 1965.  It changes to the "E" in 1966.

1965 Bulova Rubaiyat "B"

Thank you for adding the caseback to confirm the date code.

Linebook states 23 jewels, yet the subject has only 17, so it's possible the movement has been replaced.

If there is no 17J version of this case design and no other model used it, then I say we can still ID as a 1965 Bulova Rubaiyat.

Good catch!  I didn't find any other models as I was looking for it.  I agree with 1965 Bulova Rubaiyat.

1965 Bulova Rubaiyat looks like a good match

I think the "H" variant covers the 17 jewel movement for this watch.
