Bracelet: Rare vintage 18mm stainless steel "beads of rice" bracelet with fold-over clasp (unsigned)

Movement: Bulova cal. 11 AFAC self-winding automatic movement (17 jewels); Swiss Made; M2 date code = 1962

Features: Stunning original gloss black dial with a light and unique "stardust" patina and original lume; original handset with original lume and matching patina; original rotating inner dive bezel via top crown; Brevet Super Compressor case

Condition: Fantastic original condition overall with minor honest wear from age and use; sharp stainless steel Brevet Super Compressor case with small ding on bottom right lug at 5 o'clock; a few scratches on the original acrylic super dome crystal

Other: Fortunately our friends over at Worn & Wound already put together a great guide for these patented "compressor" cases, so we will leave the finer details up to them. The basic idea is that the watch case becomes more water tight as the watch goes deeper. This is by far our favorite execution from Bulova with only two simple lines of text on the dial.
