·Groovy it is. I think we will call this the plywood dial.
Without better pics of the back we can’t see the year code. We can assume it is probably around 32mm by the era (early 50’s most likely), bracelet is most likely aftermarket (although Bulova did pair with some stretchy’s from factory and that one is fancy), but for the right price it could be a charmer.

·As @JwRosenthal says you need the date code from the back. I suspect this is from the 50s, so it would be L for the decade and then a number for the year. So L8 would correspond to 1958. The 60s would be M. Once you have the year you can search ads onn mybulova.com to find the model name.

··ΩF InvestiGatorI did a blow up of the back of the watch.
Looks like a date code of either “M0” or N0”. 1960 or 1970. I would go with 1960.
I wasn’t able to match the model to anything on MyBulova.com. However, only a small fraction of the models made are shown there. Here is full list (without pictures) from 1961:

Hundreds of models.
