Watch Description

I have poured over advertisements available for hours without coming up with a perfect match.  This is a family "treasure" passed down from one mother to the next.  Any insight, thought or idea will be appreciated as I would love to determine a date and name for this beauty.  I have never taken the back off to read any additional markings or codes. It has a Speidel elastic band.

I'm pretty sure it's the crystal. I have about 2 dozen women's Bulova watch crystals (for different models) with identical  interior faceting that matches the ad depiction.

For some reason, I am unable to upload images into comments. Three crystals with this faceting, are "GS" CC295-7C (Dewdrop model), CF314-39 (Goddess of Time GG) and CF312-43. All described on the envelope as "Diamond Edge"

1969 Linebook BAWD0172 page 67 clearly showing this with a faceted crystal.

I am going to go with Diamond Empress "B"
