Watch Description

I believe this is a 1966 Bulova Ambassador, however, "Ambassdor" is spelled incorrectly on the dial.

My feeling is this was a spelling mistake during a repair job, however, thought I'd check whether the whole watch is real/authentic....

The watch was fully overhauled in March 2022.

Looks like an international version of a 1966 Bulova Ambassador (variant unknown), but with linebook model number of "24 70 02"

Thanks, team admin!

I can confirm my Hungarian great-uncle did buy it in Europe. Where exactly, I do not know.

There's a typo on the dial! "Ambassdor" is missing its third and final "a"
