Here are a few adverts showing other 70s Clipper calendar models:

There were also Sea King calendar model adverts as late as 1972. I'm good with with either the Sea King DV or the Clipper, the band looks to be another difference, plus the different hands and not knowing if the SK is a yellow or white case makes me lean more towards the Clipper, as this is the best match to the subject watch.

Based on the style of the hands and the low res advert I'm tentative 1973 Bulova Clipper.

Might also be from the 'Golden Clipper' line.
