Closest thing I've seen is the 21258 (D) in the root record ad.  



Accutron ...with the 21258 seen in comments, as its not a "variant" so probably shouldn't go in the variant field.

 IMO the accutrons in this series of ads are just too beautiful for them not to have some kind of model name. Could it be a "number" for the name?  Maybe, but I doubt the model name is the same as the unique Bulova number 21258 for this example.

I'm still amazed we have not found more Bulova price lists.  These things were sent out by Bulova monthly  (supplements) and quarterly each year. They were contract modifications, so to speak (fixed price contract mod).  Based on cover page of lists we have, it appears they were sent to every US Bulova dealer/distributor.  They couldn't have all gotten thrown away.......

I don't think Bulova gave the Acutron's names, except for the Astronauts and Deep Seas and Snorkels and...?

agreed....probably a three digit model number for the name.  Not nearly as glamorous as a nice model (series) name, but a three digit number/name is better than unique internal Bulova model number.

This is not a "Astronaut"............

It was a drop-down blunder.  Admin or Geoff probably meant to select Accutron, and accidently selected the adjacent model name.
