The USA Bicentennial was a product boon for many manufacturers, it doesn't surprise me that Bulova jumped on the bandwagon too. I wonder how many of these watches were bought and then tucked away and never used.  I would classify it as a Pocket watch, I don't think the "Bicentennial" would have been a model designation. I love that the clam shell case has "Bicentennial Collection" on it though.

You are probably right, Geoff. "Bicentennial Collection" was probably like "Excellency Collection" with individual watches named or numbered.

I'd agree with 1976 Pocket Watch, unless we find a reference name or number. It was the 70's so things were moving a bit fast, I'm betting there likely is no name per se.
