I think your watch is a match for a 1966 Bulova Sea Clipper "AC", noting the gold tone dial.

Nice watch. I agree that based on year and gold dial it is a 

1966 Sea Clipper "AC".

It appears that between 1966 and 1969, the gold dial "AC" was dropped and the watch with a silver dial was mounted on leather and renamed Sea King "EY"

Based on Stephen's linebook entry above, I suspect this watch is also a Sea Clipper  that needs to be re-evaluated based on year.

I absolutely appreciate all the knowledge and input from everyone. I had looked into everything I could about the watch shy of opening it up and have been hard pressed to find any info other than the year and a few other around the same time that had some of the same characteristics but didn't quite have the same look. Im extremely happy to now have a model type to look into more and reap the enjoyment of finding a little more history about this model of watch. Thank you all.
