Maybe one of the numerous Bulova 23 variiants? Shawkey mentions many variants btwn 1954 thru mid 1960's. Looks similar to 1962 ad below, but the outer end of lugs below are "angled", while subject watch has less angled lug ends (click on graphic to see full ad):
The Regatta came out about 1963?, and there are over 40 variants of Regatta by 1964. Could be one of those, as many charactoristics of subject watch also match Regatta.

Maybe unknown if we don't have something to tentatively distinguish btwn Regatta vs Bulova 23? No matching ad that I see.
