Watch Description

Details: Vintage Ca. 1941 Bulova Mans "doctor's" dress wristwatch with a 17 Jewel~wind-up/mechanical movement with off-set centers seconds and set in a 10 Karat, Yellow gold filled bezel and stainless steel back square shaped screwback case with associated lugs.
Measures in at 35mm lug to lub x 25mm

I would like to gather some thoughts and knowledge on this watch. The hands are very uniquely coloured compared to the other similiar models i have witnessed.

It is my first vintage Bulova watch as well as post! :)

Oh, the "off-set" center seconds you mentioned in your description is referred to as "counter-balanced".

To all, i appreciate the verification of the watch. Learnt something new, cheers Darhin.
I saw the catalogue you've linked, my next vintage Bulova hunt will be the Black Hawk! She's a beaut! Hopefully they are still around for sale.
Sadly they aren't as available in Australia.
