Here is an extremely interesting Bulova. This appears to be a 1973 or 1974 Bulova Sea King customized with a championship dial for the 1973 Ivy League Lacrosse Championship won by Brown University. The watch is a yellow gold case with stainless steel back and a N3 1973 date code. The movement is a 11AN with 17J and a N4 1974 date code. I am really happy to add this one to my custom dial Bulova collection. Not sure if this is a 1973 or 1974 but the line book does say discontinued in Dec 1973.

LaCrosse is of course, derived from the French word for Cross, 'Crosse,' and the sport is one of Canada's National Games, the other being Hockey. The French thought that the game's signature stick resembled a Bishop's Crozier, or cross.
It was first recorded by Jean de Brebeuf in 1683, in what is now Southern Ontario. The Indigenous peoples that played this game had their own name(s) for it, but the French name stuck amongst the non-Indigenous settlers. It was played amongst the First Nations as a game for the Creator, and had cultural and Spiritual significance, as well as being a method of settling disputes, despite popular belief.
Early on, the sport was popular and games between the townsfolk and the First Nations peoples were common, although it is said that it was many years before any significant wins were logged against the Indigenous teams. It became popular in places like Montreal, and by the 1850s was a popular sport in many cities. It was declared Canada's National Game in 1859.*
