Watch Description

This is the Bulova with the 6BOC movement with "L2" date code. I think this one was called the "Medical Center" in 1941 but I don't know if it had the same name in 1953.  It has a 10k rgp bezel and a stainless case back.

It looks like the changed names in the 1950's to the Red Cross based on the BAWD0132 line book.
