OK, with the GXC mark it will not have been made (and imported) after 1968. Gruen did not start very early to mark the dials with a "17 JEWELS" stamping, it must have been mid 60s. The missing of "Ra" of "Tr" on the dial might be due to the fact the apparently only the hands due have lume, I can't see any at applied to the dial. In the early 60s there was Radium used and the dials were appropriately marked, about 64 they used Tritium and the dials were marked Tr. I'd still say this might be the "Ocean Date", but would go for probably 1967.
