Great looking Snorkel!  Looks like this one from the 1966 linebook but I wish it specified the dial color.

The Bulova Snorkel "E" indicates white dial. I could not find an orange dial listing.    I can go with 1966 Bulova Snorkel unknown variant.

1966 Bulova Snorkel is a good ID. I'd say the dial has been refinished. I don't think Bulova released any of this model with a factory orange dial
