Case looks to be plated brass, no markings on case back or dial other than 'Bulova'. Strongly resembles some of the military models aleady in the database, but has quite a different dial, and no caseback markings suggesting it's not an issued model.
Watch runs, and keeps good time. Movement does not hack.
The caseback doesn't seem to want to come off, despite my best attempts. if removal is necessary for identification then I shall persevere further.
edit: I've had to guess the manufacture year, as I can't save the watch without one. I have no idea whether my guess is anywhere near true though.
Although having an original band would be nice, a modern quality reproduction would probably last longer, and cheaper! Sending you a link via PM.
Basic and utilitarian, but it's a Bulova, and a quality bombproof piece, or the US Armed Forces would not have wanted them!
Any jeweler worth their salt should be able to get that case open for a very moderate fee, but stress to them how old and valuable it is to you first.
"Any idea how many of these were produced"
Quite a few.
An order was given to destroy the Watches before return to the US after the War (WWII), the theory being the mass influx of the timepieces would all but kill the domestic Watch manufacturing buisness. So much for following orders.
Here's a clear shot of a Dial from TM 9-1575
