It's an interval of some kind. 5 gradations for the hour hand is one hour, so the difference is a safety buffer? I originally thought it was a 5 minute warning, but this is the hour hand. If anyone out there is a RR worker that has worked with these, maybe they can chime in.

This was my first impression as it makes sense with the US's 4 main time zones.
Here are a few other non Bulova examples:
I found the last picture at Martin Marcus's website "Accutron214.com".
