Hi Ken,
wow, very nice Gruen in a good shape.
The model is called the Autowind Carlo and was built in 1972. It was available in white stainless steel case and yellow gold plated, the dial should be dark blue although it looks black from the photo. Self-winding, day-daste at 6. The movement is a 17 jewel one, I assume it is the caliber 780CD, I have a similar model from that time coming with it. Caliber 780CD is the Gruen variant of the AS1916. The watch did cost $99.50 in the white stainless steel version and the gold plated one did cost $109.50.
It should easily be possible to replace the cracked crystal.
