You've got some good leads.  The date code on the case back, along w/ other info (waterproof).  Those lugs may help.  I'd check the ads from 1959 up to 1963, and I'd do a search of watches by year.  Between the two of these, I bet you can narrow it down.  If you can get the back off, then you can get the movement info.  Assuming the movement is dated w/i a year of the case(M0;M1;M2), I'd use the mvnt info to help you narrow down your search.   It's fun to give it a try.  If you do get the watch open, a pic of the inside caseback, and movement are nice to post. The watch actually looks presentable as is, considering it's a little over 50 yrs old.
