- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A MILANESE STYLE MESH BRACELET WHICH LOOKS SPORTY YET CLASSY ON THIS DIVER DUDE. BWC(BUTTES WATCH COMPANY) WAS A WELL KNOWN SWISS BRAND WHICH PUT OUT SOME FANTASTIC DIVERS AND CHRONOGRAPHS IN THE 60s AND 70s. I'VE NEVER QUITE SEEN ANOTHER LIKE THIS ONE. THAT DIAL AND BEZEL COMBO ON THIS GUY REALLY MAKE IT A STANDOUT PIECE. THE LOW PROFILE AND ELEGANT UNDERSTATED DESIGN ALLOW FOR GREAT VERSATILITY. SUCH A GREAT ALL-ROUNDER VINTAGE DIVER!
