Gut feeling - internationally distributed watch not sold in the US. That said, I am pretty sure I have seen this case before, however, it may be the same watch and I saw it on ebay.
Being movement dated 1961 and displays case markings associated with European models; I would be comfortable calling it a tentative 1961 Bulova 30 noting possible dial alteration during refinish. Date falls right in the middle of production of the original Bulova 30 line.
It's a beauty, I really like it and can see why you were drawn to it.
