Underneath the movement Serial Number: Seventeen 17 Jewels Unadjusted Swiss - Under the back cover: R/ 7596-1 Swiss
You need more, better focused pics of the front, back and movement. Also, a date code on the case back and movement consisting of a letter followed by a number - Ex. "P2". I know you listed the year as 1974 but other examples seen have been from the '80s. The case style is referred to as a "Stadium" case (not the model name) and has been seen here before.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will try to get some better pics. The 'stadium' description is so apt. I received this as a High School graduation gift in 1976, so a 1980's date would not seem to fit. I may have the receipt somewhere. It was a real expensive gift for me at the time. But, I loved the shape and the flat face crystal. It needs to be serviced and am hoping to have that done in Hawaii this summer.
