Watch Description

Bulova  -  Set-o-matic  -  Oceanographer   -  666 feet

Dual Day. Silver Day, black Date, gold frame  -  Gold applied indices, gold chapter ring  -  Gold case, hooded lugs 18mm. Unsigned crown  -  Stainless Steel, Bulova, water resistant   -  EPSA Case back, which doesn't fit any other case, so it's possibly an EPSA copy of the same case style. Case back interior says 7898 SWISS Brevet 472716 Stainless Steel Caseback 9-76 

These seems to be a Canadian market model, I've only seen them out of Canada, and I've only seen about 7, all with similar dial, case configurations.

I had to do a double take to check it wasn't the same watch as your other example.

Same situation here, having no luck finding a matching variant for the Oceanographer I can only suggest a generic ID of Bulova Oceanographer

1976 Bulova Oceanographer seems to be best ID

Certainly looks to be a 1976 Bulova Oceanographer.  I could not find a model number or variant.

 1976 Bulova Oceanographer

I wonder if this one had a medallion in the case back center (International model) that has been lost.
