Watch Description

This appears to be a pretty uncommon one I have been hunting for quite some time. It's curious that in the late 60's, Bulova used this identical casing for at least 3 different model lines at the same time. Clipper with 17 Jewels and no date window, Sea King in 23 J with date at 4 and Date King in 30 J with date at 4.

There were 2 - 30J variants with the deciding factor being dial color. This one with gilt gold dial is 1966 Date King "AL"

Super clean as received and keeps perfect time.

A database first. I love it when that happens......
