Can you confirm the movement is stamped N4 (1974)?

Is the back case stamped with a date code?

Hi, Yes it is N4,  Sorry I just realised it's the date code for 1974. There is no date code on the back case only on the movement.

Thank you,  Emma

I am coming up empty on this one.   Looks similar to the American Classics collection but no matches in the line books.  Unknown.  A picture of the case back might help determine if this is an international model.

I seems as if it must be an International model......Alas, 1974 Bulova Unknown for now.

as i speak french i can tell you that the word "FRANCE" inside the case back mean the country so it is an international model by definition... first time i see a case back engraved bulova and France !

1974 Bulova International seems like the best ID to me.  It is a beauty.

I have tried looking it up, what is the difference between an International and regular? Is it purely the country it was manufactured in, perhaps under license and not by Bulova?

"International" watches were made by Bulova in Europe, mostly Switzerland. While they weren't marketed in the USA some have found their way to the states. Some of the styles were similar but most were not.
