Description from the seller

BWC Swiss – Tank Style Quartz Watch – Stainless Steel – Date – 1980s–1990s
Swiss Quartz Movement – Date – Integrated Bracelet

An elegant vintage BWC Swiss wristwatch featuring a classic rectangular “Tank-style” design, a refined silver-tone dial and an integrated stainless steel bracelet. With its clean architectural lines and understated Swiss aesthetic, this piece reflects the elegant dress-watch styling that became particularly popular during the late 20th century.
The vertically brushed silver dial is complemented by applied baton hour markers, a Roman numeral XII at 12 o’clock and slim black hands. A framed date window positioned at 3 o’clock adds everyday practicality while preserving the balanced appearance of the dial.

Powered by a Swiss quartz movement, the watch combines the precision and convenience of quartz technology with a distinctive vintage design.

Condition Report

This BWC Swiss watch is in Grade B+ condition, showing visible signs of previous use consistent with its age. The stainless steel case and integrated bracelet present surface scratches, small marks and normal wear. The silver dial remains attractive and legible, with light age-related traces visible under close inspection. The crystal also shows signs of normal use.

The case back retains its original engravings, including “STAINLESS STEEL”, “WATERRESISTANT” and the reference/serial markings visible in the photographs.
Water resistance has not been tested and is therefore not guaranteed.

Please study all photos carefully, as they are part of the description and show the actual condition of the watch.

Story & Heritage
BWC – Buttes Watch Company – is a historic Swiss watch name whose roots date back to the early 20th century. Over the decades, the company produced a wide variety of Swiss timepieces, from traditional mechanical watches to later quartz models reflecting the changing design language of the watch industry.

This example captures the transition toward the slim, geometric aesthetic that defined many elegant Swiss watches of the quartz era. Its rectangular case, integrated steel bracelet and minimalist silver dial create a distinctly architectural appearance inspired by classic Tank-style wristwatches.
Rather than relying on decorative excess, the design is defined by proportion, symmetry and restrained detailing. The Roman XII, applied indexes and discreet date aperture give the watch enough visual character while maintaining its clean and sophisticated appearance.

A distinctive vintage Swiss quartz watch for collectors who appreciate elegant rectangular cases, integrated bracelets and understated late-20th-century design.
