Here's one I purchased recently from the UK. I've seen this bezel before, so I don't think it's particularly rare, although neither the model nor the movement are in the database, and I didn't find anything like it in the ads.
Movement: 10CH
Date: M7 on case (with an "N0" beside it?); can't tell if movement date is M5, or M6, or M8, but definitely does not look like M7

NOVA - this is a great watch - I have one like it (1966 with a 10 CL mvt) but see so few that I consider it uncommon, but not quite rare. Don't be alarmed by the scant info here on the 'newer' (like 1966 is new) Bulovas. As we go, people like you and I will be building the data on these 60's and 70's vintage watches. Don't be surprised if your mvt date varies by a year from your case. Before Bulova stated coding BOTH we never could tell if there were left over movements used in the next model year.
SOMEDAY we might know the real model name, I've always called mine the circle/square weave. Cool design though, I always get comments when I wear it.

Awesome! Thanks for validating this find. It is a beautiful watch. I guess for now it has to be listed under the "unknown" classification but maybe we could get the movement added to the list. Is yours in the database? I didn't see it.
I have quite a few watches from the '60s and '70s, which I will be adding to the database soon. Until recently, I didn't pay much attention to anything after 1950, then, all of a sudden, I discovered those later models and fell in love.
