I'm in love with the fishscale dial on this guy.  It's Aquaman's watch!

From around 1959 to 1960, this model was under the Sea King line, variant was 'IW'.

For 1960, this and other similar ones, became Surfmasters. Here is the version from 1961 - Surfmaster 'GW' variant.

The 'HW' variant was in the 1962 linebook

1960 Bulova Sea King "IW" is a good match.   Now aka the Bulova Aquaman!
