NOTES: This is another of the wonderful Ladies' Sports Models, which are distinguished by their regular (versus wire) lugs, intended to take a leather strap. This earlier version of the Debutante is rare and extremely scarce in solid gold, like this example. The more common, later version of the Debutante does not have the cut corners.

Information about American Standard signed cases is included in Bulova Case Signatures. The basis of the date assigned to this watch is explained in Dating a Bulova, which now includes a detailed timeline for assessing watches made prior to 1926.
