Another fine watch.  Based on this 1978 ad I would classify this as a 1977 Bulova Clipper Set-of-Matic.  The watch is a two tone version with roman dial but the case matches.   Generally the President and Clipper Line used the Set of Matic name as well as the divers.

77 Clipper

Muito Obrigado, JimDon, pelos vossos ensinamentos. "Bulova Clipper Set-O-Matic de 1977" seria um bom nome. Esperemos pelo parecer de outros membros do painel "MyBulova".

I agree - Based on the past we should assign as 1977 Bulova Set-O-Matic, very nice.

Concordo - com base no passado, devemos atribuir como 1977 Bulova Set-O-Matic, muito bom.

Então Geoff Baker, abandonamos o "Clipper" e identificamos apenas como "Set-O-Matic"?

Agradeço o vosso comentário.

1977 Bulova Set-O-Matic or

1977 Bulova Clipper "Set-O-Matic" (generic) seems more logical as variants are advertised as "Clipper Collection".

Muito obrigado, "neetstuf-4-u", pelo seu comentário. Fica então este modelo  Bulova identificado como "1977 Bulova Set-O-Matic".

I am inclined to call this a 1977 Bulova Clipper "Set o Matic" to differentiate this from the Bulova President "Set o Matic" and to align the naming conventions based on our newer ads and recent attributions.

Muito obrigado, JimDon, pelo seu comentário. Considerando que "Set-O-Matic" será uma função mecânica de um relógio, penso também que será útil juntar outro nome para identificar devidamente um modelo Set-O-Matic. Por isso concordo com "Bulova  Cipper Set-O-Matic de 1977.
