IIRC, it was the first of the external bearing bottom brackets, early to mid 1990s or so.
Threaded bearing cups, so they ought to simply unscrew with the appropriate wrench (16-notch).
Measure the diameter of your cups to get the matching size wrench.
Rumor has it that a Shimano Hollowtech tool fits, but it's best to check the dimensions yourself. Park Tool says their BBT-9 wrench diameter is "approximately 44mm".

...I have removed something similar with a lock ring pliers, but I was lucky and it came out easily using those and some ATF/acetone mix on the threads. If your plan is to pull it out and replace it with something else, you could probably figure out a destructive method (assuming you have no lock ring pliers.)
