Determining sequence of regular numbers

Question

I'm interested in the set of numbers that are regular in the sexagesimal (base 60) system, that is, the numbers that are expressible as $2^a3^b5^c$, where $a,b,c\in\mathbb{N}$. So the regular numbers so defined are $x=1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,12,15,18,20,...$ There's no OEIS entry in particular for that sequence.

Just starting from $x=1$ and looping through a sieve-like procedure (repeated division by 2,3 and 5) generates this list of regular numbers:

n a b c x
1 0 0 0 1
2 1 0 0 2
3 0 1 0 3
4 2 0 0 4
5 0 0 1 5
6 1 1 0 6
7 3 0 0 8
9 0 2 0 9

...

My question: is there a more efficient way to generate the list of $x$ (or the coefficients $a,b,c$) other than by testing each number by repeated division?
