The movement was in fact made by Bulova, but nothing else about the watch was. Here's an example of a watch with "Movement" on the dial. Such verbiage is an announcement that the only thing genuinely Bulova about the watch is the movement-the dial and case were made my someone else.

From the early 1920s to today, a Bulova watch will have a Bulova signed dial. There may be instances in very early watches-such as those that apparently date to pre-1920-where the dial is not signed, but those rare examples are the only instances where a Bulova dial does not read "Bulova".

The dial must be signed "Bulova", or, if an Accutron, "Accutron" or "Bulova Accutron" (or Accuquartz).

(Note, however, that some watches made in the late 1970s-such as LEDs, LCDs, and quartz models-may not have the Bulova signature on the movement, and they may not have a traditional dial, but those instances are limited and obvious.)
