1973 Bulova Snorkel 666ft. Day and Date Automatic - 23 Jewel Bulova 11AOACB with 40 hr. power reserve. Quick set date is set by repeated pull and push of the crown, the day function is set by +/- 24hr rotation of handset. Case measures at 42mm (minus crown)
A great example of the Snorkel, getting very much sought after these days.
I'm assuming there is an N3 on the caseback?

1973 .... N3 on caseback
I couldn't find an ad but with the name on the dial I will agree.
Bulova Snorkel
As a bit of a legalist when it comes to naming watches, I'm torn. While the word 'Snorkel' is clearly visible on the dial, I don't believe Bulova named (in adverts) any watch Snorkel post 1968. Having said that I'll probably be a lone dissenter but I think this is the Oceanographer model.
BTW - the watch is fabulous! As the Reverend states, this is a highly prized model. The chances of finding one with a pristine bezel like this are very small. Great watch Camu.

1973 Bulova Oceanographer - tentative Snorkel. I can go either way, as it is on the dial along with "666" feet. and was confirmed as a model name/ Oceanographer subset.
I agree with Geoff about the Snorkel name not being used past 1968. I agree this one is the Oceanographer "G".
Great looking Oceanographer watch!
Technically, it is an Oceanographer, as Geoff has pointed out. Bulova did some odd things with names- what may have started out on some watches as a model, later becomes merely a feature printed on the dial.
1973 Oceanographer.
Agreed 1973 Oceanographer.
