BISON series
These watches have "waterproof" embossed on the back instead of other Spezimatic designs ("waterproof") and are very impact resistant. Corresponding to the animal bison, according to the advertising at the time, the case should withstand a fall from one meter onto concrete without damage: the crown is almost twice as long as normal. The glass is armored, so it sits tighter in the case.
