This is a new model I believe from Abilene Reporter-News (Abilene, Taylor, Texas) · 8 May 1970.  I don't see a model called a Safari anywhere on MyBulova.

1970 Safari "C". Note the cute elephant in the watch strap.

1970 Lady of Fashion "AU"

An absolutely STUNNING 1974 "Bull Head" Chronograph.  Just look at that dial!!  The lady Skin diver with inner bezel and dual crowns is also an interesting watch.  Unfortunately no names.
