One of the great watchmakers, Bulova, produced this  excellent example of the transitional style from the 60’s to the 70’s in 1969. Bulky case but still stylish, square hands but not blockish and, revolutionary, blue dial.  The 11ANACD movement (typical Bulova  complicated caliber number) is very aesthetic with highly polished screws and a B carved out of the rotor. 11AN is the base caliber, the next A is for automatic, the C is for centre second and D is for date. This is a nice practical watch, water resistant, robust, automatic with sweep hand and date. And, in 1969, fashionable in style.
