Welcome to myBulova and thanks for sharing your watch with us.  Your watch has the same case as the Olympia like this one https://mybulova.com/watches/1939-olympia-10702 with a different dial.  It may be an Olympia with a variant but we do not have an ad for it with this dial.  Because the case shape is unique to the Olympia for now I would be inclined to ID it as an Olympia until an ad comes up that has a variant or different name.

Thank you. I’ve been very curious about the year and watch itself. I appreciate the help to identify it.

I agree this appears to be a (based on serial number) 1939 Bulova Olympia with dial variety or replacement.

Noting the possible dial change or sub-variant, I agree with a Bulova Olympia. We've not come across anything with this case design.
