Nice linebook match Kathy.

Other than the hands, I'd say it's a match for the Bulova His Excellency "CW" as well

Can anyone tell me what the "CW" stands for?

 Bulova His Excellency "CW"

The "CW" doesn't really stand for anything except the model progression from one variant to another for identification.
