I don't know how to open the case to get the movement model and case serial #.

I was hoping to find a photograph with the original watchband.

Very unique looking watch.

A 1979 Bulova Accutron Quartz and I even found an advert for it.

Looks like it was priced at $179 back when new.

That is $660.00 in today's money. Not an inexpensive little watch. Quartz watches were cheaper to produce, and became much cheaper as time went on, as we know. In the early days it was not unusual to see prices like this. 

As an added note- Think of what $660 would buy you today, with money to spare:

A MOON WATCH!
