Seems the entire case is stainless steel. Trying to find a match for this style and case.

At a minimum we can certainy ID as a 1965 Bulova Accutron Calendar.

Calendar looks right to me.  I looked at the Accutron linebook and could not find one with a stainless steel case.

Interesting, would there have been another watch model with a stainless case that could fit on a white gold accutron? Watch would have been purchased in McAllen, TX, or San Juan, TX, new. Our family jeweler is still there in mcallen and I speak with the San Juan family often.

When I was reviewing the linebooks, there were a good number of variations of your watch, most of which indicated yellow gold plate or solid gold. I couldn't find the variant that mentioned all an stainless steel case. The linebooks we have access to are not always complete and there can be several pages missing,. So it might be that the SS version is on one of those missing pages. Either way we can certainly provide a base ID.
