This is a gold plated chronograph from 1966 with a Valjoux 92 movement. Both the case back and the movement are marked with the M6 date code. I assume the reference #13EB is honestly not readable except for the "13". Like the other mid sixties chronographs on the site, the case numbers and serial numbers don't really match the normal Bulova patterns. Inside the case back there is a stylised 'G" and the "10G" between one set of lugs, again with the stylised "G", it's too small to get a picture. I'm going to guess that G is the case manufacturer?
This Bulova is definitely my pride and joy of my vintage Bulovas! It is in nice condition, I am going to replace the crystal. It also needs one pusher button because one is kinda worn through on the end. I will probably end up soldering it up because I don't think I'm going to find a replacement. It's either that or trying to find just a button or cap that I can pull off a different pusher. I really don't want to mess with the pushers too much because I don't know if these screw out or push out and I don't want to destroy the pusher tube trying to find out.
Very nice, Can you please upload a front photo of the watch assembled? Based on case markings and s/n starting with "1-", I'm going to say your watch was manufactured in Europe, probably Switzerland.

Thanks.
Great looking Watch. I agree on an international model based on the serial number style. I’m fine designating this as a 1966 Bulova International Chronograph or just 1966 Bulova Chronograph.
We have a 1964 international linebook showing a similar 2 register chronograph, so was certainly something being sold during this time internationally by Bulova.
There will be a model number associated with the watch, but at this stage the best we can do is categorise within the 'International' group.
1966 Bulova International
1966 Bulova International Chronograph
1966 Bulova International Chronograph
Agree with either International or International Chronograph.
