Thanks Kerry for the appreciation. What is the correct name for this one?
Dave
Sportsman is correct labeling, They are commonly called "Diver" but were marketed as "Sportsman". These were mfg in 1978-79. Nice clean example, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Kerry.

Thought I had one of these and the 1973 also posted, but didn't find them on "My Stuff" page.LoL, must of had a brain-fart.
Dave, here's just a little more info about these for future reference. These were made in two different versions, This one (Swiss made) and one just a little different that was made by a French watchmaker for Bradley. The dial of the other would be labeled as such
Kerry,
I added 2 more photos of another, but it also is a Bradley Swiss. Mickey facing to the left.
The second one is the 1973. I was refering to the 78 as having 2, sorry didn't make that clear in my last comment. The 73 is Great, thanks for adding pics.
Thanks Kerry for the clarification.
