Wow- only 200 made in 2.5 yrs. Although not subject watch, that's about as "rare" as Bulova gets.  I betcha "Bulova Timer" was a model series, and - yes here it comes- subject watch may be a variant thereof, or produced/marketed as another model name in this "series".  Great ads and great watch!

This is a Rattrapante stopwatch. The two hands are capable of moving together or independently. The movt looks like a Valjoux 57.
