Similar to the "H" w/ the complication for the wheel.  Nice

FYI: this model sometimes had no other markings on the dial other than "Bulova Accutron" or, in addition, it could be marked "Traveler" at the bottom of the dial or "Astronaut Mark II" at the bottom of the dial. Many call these models "GMT" but I don't know that Bulova actually referred to them as such. Some models had the GMT hour window as shown on this watch while others had the additional GMT hour hand. It is correct to refer to all variations as "Accutron Astronaut Mark II". I have one with the unmarked dial as I described. I also have an ad showing the watch I have but calling it an "Accutron Astronaut Mark II".

  I reserve the right to be wrong but I believe you will find that this dial came in a gold case and tha the dial that came in the SS case was silver/gray colored.  Accutrons with gold colored dials very rarely came in SS cases.

Good chance it was built up from parts. Might even have been an orphan as a result of a solid gold case melted down.

" I reserve the right to be wrong", LOL! I love that, I might need to borrow it sometime!
