We never found an advert showing this one, we have two in the data base already this is one, the record has a link to the other.

Found the model name in an ad that "Says it All" LOL.  Turns out its a Minuteman.

That’s it!! How fitting as I am a proud Umass Minuteman myself! Thank you for your help. When I googled the model, many tank style Bulovas came up with minute dials. Not the same model. I assume people selling without knowledge of what the models are.

Just an FYI for anyone coming across this to identify their watch, the photo for the inside caseback on this watch doesn't look to be the correct style or number. The 714-1 should take an 11ALACD. Also, the 11ACAOB listed for the watch looks to be a typo for the 11AOACB). This case number for this watch is 3261 with an 11AOACB movement.

Corrct, according to the 1972 ABC Case Parts Catalog, case 714-1 takes a 11ALACD.

However case 3261 takes a 11AOACD.

I think this is one of those examples where the catalog isn't correct on the movement. The 11AOACD is a date only movement with no day complication. Also, the stainless steel version of this watch is case T3260, which the catalog does show taking the 11AOACB, as does the other examples in the database here.
