Watch Description

I purchased this from Ebay after searching for a watch made in my birth year.  It's a nice looking watch with a black dial. But, the caseback has a date code of M5(1965) and the movement has N6(1966). The movement was not included in the listing's photos.  This has me a bit confused.

I need to correct the date codes in the description,  should be M6 and M5.

Thank you for posting your watch.   Since the case is M5 I will call this a 1965 model.  I could not find a match in the 1965 line book but found a match in the 1966 Linebook.   Based on that this is a 1965 Bulova Sea King "X"
