Hard to give less than three ticks for this, but I'm thinking the model name is from the dial - quite generic.  I bet this beauty had a "real name".

I am wearing this exact same watch as I type, It came to me in what I believe it is orginal box and with its original band. I have not added it to the db yet but will soon.....

very nice.

Geoff,

Does Your example show the same caseback as the subject or is it held by a retaining ring?

Same caseback Mark, it's a front loader. I really think we need to call this watch a Commander, although we have nothing other than a couple boxes here, and they don't match.

Geoff, I agree.

* the 1965 ad fine print states 'raised numerals' 'luminous textured Dials' and 'florentine finish Cases', which the subject and Mr Bakers' example show.

Model indicated by arrow.

'COMMANDER'

For the Commander graphic at yellow arrow above, the lugs in the ad seem to be angled out vs going out perpendicular as in the graphic below the yellow arrow? The text description sure fits.
