    if i am correct those are steeringwheels on the crown, and Chopard uses them on some of their Mille Miglia models, so perhaps it IS a Chopard?
    I think Geoff was talking about the Jaguar watch by Bremont cos they have a rotor inspired by a steeringwheel?

    I thought dual compressor diver at first, but the case shape doesn't fit. So that second crown is likely for setting an alarm, and it looks vintage. I'm stumped on the spoked crowns, but I'd guess a vintage Waltham, Candino, Bulova, or more obscure Swiss maker.

    With the surprise day feature I found awhile back while playing with it...:




    Edit: Yes, I have posted it up before and talked about the day in a previous thread. Someone pays attention, ITMW!

    Really nice watch! How old is it, looks so 70's?
