Sorry I forgot to add the following comments:  I am unable to find the name of this Accutron - my research indicates that it is difficult to identify these models. I was able to get it running by using a smaller battery, Energizer 329. That was a very pleasant surprise. Also, was lucky enough to get the original faux tortoise shell snap-close box and original battery instruction insert. Thanks for any further info you can provide.

Late 70's models can be difficult to ID, as by this time many no longer had a name and were ID'ed with a number. I found your watch in Bulova Linebook203 (1975-1976).

It is called out as Women's Accutron 22946Y Note the illustration calls out Champagne Dial.

Another linebook lists a reference as 22946-8Y. Think that is a more correct model designate.
