We have had discussions previously about Set o Matic being a function rather than a name although we see both ads as Set-O-Matics but usually this would be in a model line like Clipper or President.   Yours is very close to this 1974 ad as a President.  I am still digging for a match.   Unfortunately not an exact match but close.   

74 Bulova President

Provavelmente "Set-O-Matic" será uma função porque já vi esta designação em outras marcas de relógios. Será então um "1974  Bulova President Set-O-Matic".

Muito obrigado Jim Don pelos vossos comentários sempre muito importantes.

Não acho que o relógio no anúncio corresponda ao relógio em questão. Sem um anúncio, eu estaria inclinado a rotular este relógio como modelo 'Set-O-Matic', já que usamos essa designação no passado.

I don't think the watch in the advertisement matches the subject watch. Without an advertisement I would be inclined to label this watch as 'Set-O-Matic' model  as we have used that designation in the past.

Muito obrigado Geoff pela sua observação. Realmente os mostradores (dial) não são iguais. Continuamos então a identificar como "Set-O-Matic".

Probably best to continue to group these, until we can find an official linebook entry that deterrmines an actual model name.
