Bathyscaphe ref 5000 on the original bracelet

 

It feels remarkably good on the wrist and I find it absolutely versatile: valid for sports, leisure and dress. 

The only activity it doesn’t qualify for IMO is diving, because a butterfly bracelet is too prone to opening accidentally under water. 

The trick lies in the relative thinness of the case (13.45 is not bad for a diver with cal 1315 inside, and the central part is thin as a Sub) balancing the relative thickness of the sturdy-but-perfectly-finished bracelet. 

The combo works well. Its weight is 191g with all the links but two half-links. Thanks to the even weight around the wrist, it never feels heavy.
