Description from the seller

BWC Swiss Automatic Date – Swiss Made – Exhibition Case Back – Gold-Tone Rotor – Two-Tone Bracelet – White Dial – 30M

An elegant vintage BWC Swiss automatic wristwatch, featuring a refined two-tone stainless steel case, a classic white dial and an attractive exhibition case back revealing its Swiss mechanical movement.
Combining traditional Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship with timeless design, this BWC stands out through its beautifully balanced dial, polished gold-tone bezel and sophisticated two-tone metal bracelet.
The white dial features applied gold-tone baton hour markers, Roman numerals at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock, elegant gold-tone hands and a date window at 3 o'clock. A discreet magnifying lens enhances the date display, adding both practicality and character.

One of the most distinctive features of this watch is its transparent exhibition case back, offering a fascinating view of the automatic movement and its decorative gold-tone oscillating rotor, engraved "25 Jewels Swiss Made".
With its classic proportions and elegant combination of silver and gold tones, this BWC is a refined example of late 20th-century Swiss watchmaking.

Story & Heritage
BWC, originally known as Buttes Watch Company, is a historic Swiss watchmaking brand founded in 1924 in the village of Buttes, located in the Swiss Jura region.
The company became associated with the production of reliable Swiss wristwatches, combining traditional mechanical engineering with elegant and practical designs.
Throughout the 20th century, Swiss automatic watches evolved from purely functional timekeeping instruments into refined expressions of craftsmanship and personal style.

This BWC Automatic Date reflects that tradition, bringing together classic Swiss design elements and the fascination of a visible mechanical movement.
Its exhibition case back is particularly appealing, revealing the intricate architecture of the automatic movement. The gold-tone oscillating rotor, engraved "25 Jewels Swiss Made", highlights the mechanical character of the watch and offers a direct connection to the art of traditional horology.
The combination of Roman numerals, gold-tone detailing and a white dial creates an elegant aesthetic inspired by classical watchmaking, while the two-tone stainless steel bracelet adds a distinctive late 20th-century character.
Unlike quartz watches, an automatic mechanical watch is powered by the movement of the wearer's wrist, transforming everyday motion into stored mechanical energy.

This connection between movement, precision and craftsmanship is one of the enduring attractions of traditional Swiss horology.
A charming vintage BWC automatic watch for collectors who appreciate Swiss mechanical movements, exhibition case backs and timeless two-tone designs.
