I need help identifying this model. Looks like a senator but I cant find a serial number match. Band is just a cheap replacement band for interim. I have opened it and it is a 11acc movement.

Very interesting watch. Is there anything stamped on the inside of the case back? Your watch appears to be a very close match to this one, produced in Germany. Face is slightly different, which may be attributed to a re-dial  or year of production. For the time being, I am comfortable calling it a 

1958 Senator   "EW" (or generic Senator)

It is a German production. Should be able to post pictures soon.

Well, the case certainly looks like a Senator but If that dial is original (and I think it is) it's not the EW variant. I do want to suggest something a bit different. THIS advert has a watch called Storm King. While the case looks a bit different in the shape around the bezel, note that the description states "waterproof, anti-magnetic AND shock resistant" as does the back case of the subject watch. Those phrases are hardly ever found on Bulova case back. Given that is not a US made watch makes it possible?  BUT WAIT -HERE is a Navigator advert that show the same watch? Same "waterproof, anti-magnetic AND shock resistant". Both adverts are 1958 vintage. I wonder.....

I'm at Unknown model for now. The case is a match to the Senator, but not the dial. I do not see a match otherwise.
