Almost looks like a custom watch, but I suspect it is factory. If you do a search for "Accutron Gold Nugget" you will see quite a few watches like this, some have matching rings.
It is possible an Alaskan jeweller was doing this, or having it done. The dial looks 100% like a Bulova factory dial, so these watches may be stock or they may have had help in getting these made from Bulova themselves. You can still buy nugget jewellery in Alaska of course, it's a big touristy thing. Not all of them were solid gold, which this one is at 18K. These were and are known as 'Pipeline Watches.'
Not sure how we can identify it beyond being an Accutron Date.
