Hi dadsbulova, welcome to myBulova. I've seen several of these over the years but really don't know how they were used. My assumption is more likely aircraft usage than space, although space would be WAY cooler. The contacts suggest that somehow the device recorded the time of an event (or events) that occurred during the mission.
In regards to ID I suggest "Accutron Clock" or "Accutron Panel Clock".
