Not seeing any match for this one in our ads, but Sea King comes to mind. The case number 2913 is listed in the case parts ref book, but does not list the T-2913; I wonder if the T designates Taiwan produced. The book also designates the 11BLC for this case (non-T).

Unknown for now

Yeah, this one has me stumped too. I like that calendar band, that's a throw back.

Welcome to the club,I've got lots of these 70's watches that are unknown.It's funny how few ads we have from that time.

I have read that the 70's were some tough years for Bulova. They were venturing into Asia during this period, Digital watches were starting to compete, Swiss inflation was going on and a couple unsuccessful business transactions that didn't turn out very well. It was in to the mid 80's before Bulova actually started getting back on thier feet again. They were trying to pump out a lot of watches back then. Probably most with no model names or advertising for them.

Found the watch in the 1974-1975 LineBook BAWD0192-3.   A few year gap but a match.  Unfortunately no name.

1970 Unknown.
