Exceptional Vintage Buren Dive Watch Dating to the 1960s with Tremendous Black Dial
Buren Watches, renowned for their precision and elegance, boast a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. Established in 1877 by Léon Breitling in Buren, Switzerland, the company initially focused on producing pocket watches. However, their innovative spirit led them to venture into wristwatches as the demand for portable timekeeping devices grew. In 1919, Buren Watches partnered with movement manufacturer Aegler to develop and produce high-quality movements.
This collaboration resulted in the creation of some of the world’s thinnest and most accurate watch movements at that time. Over the years, Buren Watches gained recognition for their exceptional craftsmanship and technological advancements. In 1966, they introduced the world’s first automatic micro-rotor movement—a breakthrough in watchmaking history. The brand continued to evolve and innovate until it was acquired by Hamilton Watch Company in 1966.

There are also 24-hour number markers inside/below the 12-hour markers. This watch has a robust Calibre ST96 also known as an FHF 96, mechanical hand wind movement with 17 jewels.
