This watch looks to have the original band, which is seen in the Ambassador and the Gedney ads. The Everett ads all show a different band style; so I would eliminate Everett from being a match.
In 1953, I show ads for both Ambassador (1952 - 1953) and Gedney (1953 only); either model name would be appropriate for me.

Here is the 1952 Ambassador advert showing the same original watch band as the shown on the subject watch.
Based on the bracelet matching the advert I'd also be good with a 1953 Bulova Ambassador, also noting the matching 21 Jewel count. A privious post on one of the Everett watched stated incorrectly that 'all Ambassadors from this time frame are 17 jewels'.
