Narrative:

At FL280; first officer pilot flying smelled and visually saw smoke coming from underneath his glare shield. We donned oxygen masks and made a left 180 degree turn back to ZZZZ. [We requested priority handling with ATC] at that time. Shortly after; ZZZZ1 seemed to be a better choice and it became our divert. Somewhere in the descent the smoke seemed to stop but we maintained masks on. We asked for runway xx and were given radar vectors which we backed up with the RNAV xx. The weather was 3500 broken and we were able land in VMC. I stopped the aircraft on the runway and allowed the crash fire rescue equipment (crash fire rescue) to visually look over aircraft prior to executing a 180 degree turn to taxi back to our ramp. Remainder was uneventful.
