This is a wonderful example of the Sea King 'C'
I like the dial font and design, quite different from other watches. It looks like a one-piece case with a split-stem, dial and movement are accessed from the top.

Thank you so much. I did look at the ads and whatever other pictures I could find here prior to asking, but obviously overlooked that! Much appreciated.
And yes it is a one piece case.
Really liking this watch, my first vintage and first Bulova. In the 34 hours I've run it, timekeeping is essentially perfect.
I have some newbie questions but will "Ask a Question" for that.
