Standing out from the Italian watchmakers other models is the BVLGARI Diagono wristwatch. The firm describes it this way: "Combining distinctive style, generously balanced proportions and cutting-edge technology, the Diagono Collection uses cutting-edge research to push the limits of the functional demands imposed upon it."

BVLGARI has always occupied an unusual place in watchmaking. It is one of the world's great luxury houses, yet some of its most interesting watches are the ones in which that unmistakable Italian design sensibility was applied to something genuinely technical. This Connoisseur of Time Certified Pre-Owned Diagono Professional Scuba Chronograph is one of the clearest examples.

It is not a luxury watch just dressed to look rugged. The SCB 38 S was built as a true sports instrument: 200-meter water resistance, a unidirectional elapsed-time bezel, screw-down winding crown, individually screw-down chronograph pushers, sapphire crystal, an automatic mechanical chronograph movement, and official chronometer certification.

And yet it never loses its identity as a BVLGARI.

Its broad scalloped steel bezel, muscular crown guards, exposed screw-bar strap construction, oversized 12 and 6, and integrated rubber strap give it a design that is highly functional, but that is unlike the familiar dive-watch formulas used by Rolex, Omega, or Breitling. It has the purposeful feel of professional equipment, but filtered through a house whose reputation was built on design.

That combination is the real appeal of the watch.

It is all original and in gorgeous and honest original condition with original rubber strap and buckle - the watch presents as a 9.4 out of 10.

Its case is just short of mint. Both its dial and sapphire crystal are mint - the luminous on the dial has warmed to a beautiful tone. And its original band and buckle are in excellent condition.

Any needed servicing has been performed by a Master Watchmaker making it ready for immediate enjoyment. We have also timed it on a machine that simulates it being worn on the wrist. It is keeping very accurate time.

Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership, was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center, and has done authorized work for the Cartier Service Center.
