Thank you for posting your heirloom watch.   Based on my research in the line books I found a listing in the 1971 Linebook.   1967 Bulova Accutron Calendar "CG" .   Note it was a popular model as it is marked "SOLD OUT".

Well found, Jim., but is suspect it's something else, as the Linebook states "14K gold filled" and the watch back appears to say

"14K Gold Case".

Watch is a 1967 and Linebook is 1971, so it may be a year thing on case composition. Still looking.

 

Thank you for sharing.

Thinking the Accutron Calendar "BX" is a better fit.

I can't believe I missed it that much.  I think I copied the wrong listing.    1967 Bulova Accutron Calendar "BX" is a good match.
