Concerto is correct.  All the line books have the dash/number dial but there is one ad with the all number dial but without a variant.  Here is a 1962 ad with your dial.

I agree with a 1965 Bulova Concerto without a variant. The linebooks show the yellow in 1965 as the "C" and then in 1966 as the "UU". Neither of these matches the dial configuration, suggesting another variant.

I think 1965 Bulova Concerto no variant is the best classification.
