Sweet little watch!  By 1979 watches were no longer being given a name.  Your watch is a 53841-3W 23500 from the 1977 LinBook BAWD0210 page 68.

Based on the 1973 Bulova Spring Linebook 53841-3W is model name Bulova Nocturne "H".

Hmmm so that's how we do it. Find the model number reference from the tray only linebooks and then cross reference (where possible) with the more detailed linebooks. Great work Jim.

Panel happy with a Bulova Nocturne "H" despite the 6 year difference in linebook reference?
