Watch: Gents 1960s Benrus Wrist Watch

The watch has a Swiss automatic movement, the 17-jewel Fe2d5 (based on the Eta 2451) which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Benrus name. The watch measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is in lovely condition just a little rubbing to one of the lug tips. The case back is stainless steel. It states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in good condition with just a couple of small minor marks (some white reflection showing in the photos). The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, seconds sweep and outer minute markers. There is a little age related discolouration to the dial. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All Prices Include UK Postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
