Watch Description

Hi there. I apologize, I do not know the difference between all the numbers on this watch. There are many numbers. I have pictures of them all, maybe someone who knows these watches better can determine the meaning behind each. There is a J8 in a triangle. But that doesn't seem to be anything I can find related to the date. The dates for triangle don't match up with this watch. This inscription on the back is 1944. Maybe someone can help me identify further. Thank you.

We have 2 other examples of this model in the database, both of which we've not been able to identify.

This example is listed as 1947 - https://mybulova.com/watches/1947-unknown-13443

This one listed as 1949 - https://mybulova.com/watches/1949-unknown-13037 

Does your watch have a date code stamp on the back below the word BULOVA?

An inscription dated 1944, certainly means this model was available at that time, so would give it a 5 year time span at least.

With your serial number and inscription I am comfortable with 1944.  This is a lovely model but still unknown to us.  Hopefully an ad will be found someday to give it a name.
