A LOVELY AND RARE BENRUS \'THREE STARS\' GENT\'S AUTOMATIC VINTAGEWATCH.
TheBenrus Watch Companyis a Belgian-American luxury watchmaker. It was founded as a watch-repair shop inNew York Cityin 1921 by the American-Romanian Benjamin Lazrus.The name \"Benrus\" originates from the combination of Benjamin Lazrus\'sfirstandlast name.
Before 1930, the company transitioned from watch repair to the manufacture of watch cases and assembly of completed watches using imported internal components fromLa Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.During World War II, the company stopped manufacturing watches and switched to the manufacture of timing systems (e.g.fuses) used inmunitions.In the 1940s and 1950s, Benrus released the Sky Chief (achronograph), the Dial-a-Rama, the Wrist Alarm and a bracelet watch called Embraceable.
IT DATES FROM THE EARLY TO MID FIFTIES.
IT MEASURES APPROX. 33MM. ACROSS WITHOUT THE CROWN.
THE 10K.ROLLED GOLD PLATED CASE IS SUPER AND VERY BRIGHT...MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THE PHOTOS PORTRAY...SHOWING SOME SMALL MARKS THROUGH NORMAL USE OVER THE DECADES,AND SLIGHT WEAR IN PLACES TO ITS UNDERSIDE EDGE.
THE \'MARKS\' SEEN AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE BEZEL ARE REFLECTIONS FROM THE BRACELET PATTERN,AND ARE NOT ON THE WATCH ITSELF.
IT HAS LONG CAT-EAR LUGS.
THE CHAMPAGNE DIAL IS DELIGHTFULLY CLEAN FOR ITS MANY YEARS...ANY MARKS SEEN IN THE PHOTOS ARE EXAGGERATED DUE TO THE USE OF ZOOM AND MACRO.
THE DIAMOND MARKERS,ART DECO NUMERALS AND HANDS ARE EXTRA-BRIGHT IN SHINY GOLD.
THERE IS A CENTRAL SECONDS HAND.
THE BACK COVER IS EXCELLENT IN SATIN STAINLESS STEEL.
THE ORIGINAL GLASS CRYSTAL IS VERY GOOD,SHOWING THE ODD SCRATCH.
THE BENRUS SEVENTEEN JEWEL AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT IS RUNNING WELL,AND HAS KEPT VERY GOOD TIME OVER THE FEW HOURS IT HAS BEEN MONITORED.
HOWEVER,AS WITH ANY VINTAGE WATCH WITHOUT SERVICE RECORDS,IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SAY FOR HOW LONG IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN,OR HOW ACCURATE THE MOVEMENT WILL PROVE TO BE.
THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO GUARANTEES.
IT COMES COMPLETE WITH AN EXCELLENT \'SPEIDEL\' EXPANDABLE BRACELET.
A REALLY SCARCE WATCH!
RESPECTFULLY,PLEASE NOTE THAT THE UNPAID ITEM ASSISTANT WILL AUTOMATICALLY OPEN A CASE IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 48 HOURS.
THANKS AND GOOD LUCK!
