It's so close to quite a few of the watches on that page you would think that the model number would be very close to them ? i have read that the accutron watches made by the swiss plant were for the european market ? does anyone know if that ad was seen here in the usa, europe or both ?

What year is the ad? I think we are going to find that 26104 is the unique Bulova reference number as in the price lists. Same for the other three models in the ad. Our most recent price list is Spring 1964, and its just not new enough to have these models in the ad.
Here's a snippet Spring 1964 list showing other Accutron w/ unique reference numbers very close to those in the more recent ad....so this beauty will have a model "name", although it will probably be a three digit model number. ...or it may have a name and a number.
The larger version of 1965 ad used in root record. Looks like a USA ad.
