Ok, not sure how I missed the dial being more military style than a Practitioner, but I'm going to have to change my vote to unknown. That would mean the hands may well belong with this dial.

I think the longer I look the more I don't see the match either. Sorry Ross but I'm sliding into the Unknown camp as well.

Still a great watch, thanks for sharing it!

I'm going unknown for now based on everything above....

I think this is Unknown.  I have seen this exact model with the lumi hands and numbers.  This is a faux military variant that was part of that Bulova line, ie the Blackhawk, Air Warden, Blackout/Radio City etc...

This appears to be a white dial version of the Medico.  There is no confirmation that this model came in white but it is an exact match to the 5 unknowns we just ID'd as a Medico with the three new ads we found including this one.  Everything is an exact match except the dial color.

Case looks to be a match, Dial layout and hands also look to be a match. Only different is dial colour.

I'm good with Bulova Medico. Time period is correct and it would certainly fit the medical usage with the large second track numbers and 1/5th of a second markers..

Looks like a match to me.
