This is my 2nd black dial. This one has silver markers. I'm thinking this is in the Sea King family also. Thanks for looking!

Very nice watch. I love these thin models. It appears to be 1959 Bulova SVP V based on this 1960 Line book BAWD0139 page 25.
Looks like a match to me.

This model became the Surf King 'DW' in 1962

Yes it did change names in 1962. I guess SVP was not a marketable as Surf King. The new name definitely appealed to a young demographic and aligned with the waterproof case.
I always thought it was a Sea King. Does anyone know if the SVP stands for anything? Thanks for the ID y'all!.

I thought it was Senior Vice President but it stood for Style Value Performance as shown in this 1961 ad shot.
