I know its from 1952, I have heard people refer to it as a 10bm. as for a proper name, no one knows?? Most people state is as Unknown. They come with a black dial as well in both Men and Womans. Dave
Dave, the 10bm refers to the movement. I did a google search on bulova 10bm and sure enough this watch popped up. Unfortunately so did a lot of other watches that used the 10bm movement. Thank you for your input. I'm running out of search strings so any info is helpful. I know this watch has a proper name and I'm gonna find it :-)
Bob
Good Luck! I know people have tried to find a name for his years in the making. If you do let us know! Dave
Good morning from colorado,
Hey Bob, are there any numbers on the back ?, and the numbers on the movement will help also.
I have learned that the watch is very rare, not many around ! Mike H
Hi Mike I don't actually own the watch so I can't give you anymore info. My fellow members at mybulova.com are trying to id this watch without much success. This one is a real puzzle.
Bob
After contacting Bulova requesting information on this watch this is what they said. The white dial is called a Berkshire and the black dial is a Air King. Both examples are from 1955.
Bob
Still want one! Am watching one as I write on Ebay, fingers crossed!
