Ironic Award Watch
Just thought I'd share this interesting piece from my collection.
It was evidently presented in 2004 to an individual working for British Petroleum, in recognition of high performance reguarding Health, Safety, Security and Environment (HSSE).
Unfortunatly not everyone working at the company was as competent as this watches recipient, because the very next year one of BPs oil refinerys in Texas City, Texas would suffer an explosion that tragically claimed the lives of 15 people and injured hundreds more.

I bought it on ebay for basically nothing. I'm a history buff so I'm constantly searching for engraved watches or ones with interesting relevance to specific events or narratives.
Who made that watch? I like the numbers
Noticed a thing about the watch , the bracelet looks weirdly like a patek but the bezel is really Vacheron like

Your guess would be as good as mine, I haven't found anything about it. It has a generic Miyota Quartz movment.
Interesting watch, thanks for sharing
Well those 50M of water resistance certainly weren’t enough for your horrific Deepwater Horizon spill
