About the Item

FACTORY / HOUSE: Benrus Watch Company STYLE / REFERENCE: Art Deco / Curvex Style METAL / MATERIAL: Gold-Filled CIRCA / YEAR: 1940's DIMENSIONS / SIZE: Length 40mm X Width 28mm MOVEMENT / CALIBER: Manual Winding / 15 Jewels / Caliber 883 DIAL / HANDS: Original Silvered with Arabic Numerals / Original Baton Hands ATTACHMENT / LENGTH: Leather, 13mm / Regular Length WARRANTY: 18 months on the movement LIFETIME SERVICE COMMITMENT This is a great looking classic Art Deco watch by a famous American house. We seldom see this model and this one is in nearly new condition. The house of Benrus was founded by the Lazrus Brothers, and Ben was one of the them. Most of their production was done in America but they had offices in Switzerland as well. This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service. We will give it a factory quality service by our finest watchmaker as part of the purchase price before it is shipped out to you. This will delay shipping for a few days of course.

Done in the Curvex Style, this is a rare model which we seldom see, and this one has a flawless original dial. The watch is dependable and easy to service. In the 1930's, we became Gruen agents in Los Angeles California. Gruen was a great company to work with because they had a large collection, great styling, they were innovative and offered great service to their customers.

This is a "vault find" watch, it has been locked up for nearly 50 years, which means it needs a service.
