Nice, Looks like a good match to me. Lug shape appears to have changed after 1956, and in 1957 they went from stepped to smooth transition into case as seen here.

It looks as though there were two options on this case/dial design. The pricelists show two models associated with reference#281, the Navigator C and the Storm King B, both at $45. I've found a 1957 ad for both and one 1958 for the SK.
I'm not seeing a difference. Perhaps there is a dial difference, smooth vs patterned. The Navigator ad does mention a textured dial.

I will go with Navaigator for now with the ad mentioning the textured dial.
