Take note it appears in the linebooks in a tray labeled by Bulova as Clipper Set-O-Matic with each individual watch assigned a model number.
So, this is a great example of how tricky it can be to accurately provide a model ID.
Is it a:
- Bulova Model #12651-6Y
- Bulova Clipper
- Bulova Clipper Set-O-Matic
- Bulova Clipper Set-O-Matic #12651-6Y
Panel is Set-O-Matic on the dial the same as 'Snorkel' where it is describing a feature of the watch rather than a name?
Should we recognise the Set-O-Matic as either a model name in its own right or at the very lease as part of a model name, such as the Clipper Set-O-Matic?

Well.....I prefer option 5 - Bulova Clipper 12651-6Y (with a Set-O-Matic movement complication) This complication allowed setting the the day and date from the second crown setting by rotating forward for day and back for date.
Did a little more research and found this ad. Clearly indicates this is a Clipper. I believe we should just call this 1977 Bulova Clipper Model #12651-6Y
works for me.
Further confirmation of the Clipper line of watches.
