There's a lot to like about this one, imho:
the pie-pan dial, the dauphine hands, the steel furniture w/onyx inserts, the all-steel case w/angled lugs, hexagonal case-back with medallion . . . and it even has the original mineral-glass crystal! Inside is a Technos-signed ETA 2522, which is keeping excellent time. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Connies, but this was 1/10th the price and it seems well more than 1/10th the watch!

I've developed an interest in Singer, the famed dial designer and manufacturer responsible for the Paul Newman Daytona (https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-blog/resources/singer-dial-manufactuer-paul-newman.html). Singer, in case you're unfamiliar, apparently designed dials used by a number of prominent watchmakers, including Heuer, Omega, Universal Genève, and Tudor. But they also can be found in less well-known (and more affordable) brands such as Bulova…

Dugena is a maker that has come up on my radar only recently. They were a top-end German brand, originally sold under the name Alpina (f. 1917). They did a marvellous Autavia clone, the "Siffert," which I am eagerly keeping an eye out for: ...

On offer is from my personal connection is a BWC (Buttes Watch Company) diving chronograph in near-NOS condition. This all steel, all original piece has great wrist presence and the dial has a really lovely color scheme. Lots of little details that evoke a racing theme. I haven't been able to date this one precisely, but judging by the batons, case, and dial layout, I'd say 1968-1972.

The Dial: Main color is a very rare racing-green, as befits the motorsports theme. Rectangular…
