I don't see an exact match to anything we have in line books and advert.  1966 Bulova Accutron

Dial and hands of a number of Accutrons, including the "415" and "410" and the case of an Accutron "410". Below is an interesting linebook notation.

Accutron "410"

Generic 1966 Bulova Accutron for me until I can find an exact match.

Thank you both for your input! This was my grandfather's watch. My dad gave it to me last week. My grandfather died 20 years ago, so I can't ask him about it. 

I started scouring the Internet for a reference or model number right away. I could find watches with the same face or same case (with fluted lugs), but I couldn't find a combination of both. 

Does that linebook notation suggest that there may have been different dial options or some sort of customization available from Bulova or its authorized dealers?

Thank you again so much for your assistance!
