Gents J W Benson wrist watch, circa 1970
Gents J W Benson wrist watch, circa 1970.
The watch has a good quality 25 jewel ETA 2472 automatic movement which is working nicely.
The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated and it is in good condition, just light surface marking. The screw-on case back is stainless steel and it does have a few scratches. The case back also states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisure.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in good original condition with original hands, centre seconds hand and an early form of quickset date, set by changing 20:00-24h.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
J W Benson originated in 1847, founded by James William Benson and Samuel Suckley Benson. They were regarded as one of Victorian London’s most prestigious retail jewellers and they also manufactured their own watch movements. The company flourished and proudly boasted an elite client base made up of both British and European royalty and a selection of well heeled industrialists and business figures including the King of Siam, the King of Portugal, the King of Denmark, the Emperor of Japan, the Tsar of Russia and the King of Greece. JW Benson also supplied watches to Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales.
As with many watch manufacturers, J W Benson embraced the newly introduced wristwatch during the first World War. Up until this point, the company was still manufacturing its own movements in the UK but after its factory at Belle Sauvage Yard was hit during a bombing raid in 1914, it purchased mechanisms from a number of quality movement producers in Switzerland. From a collector’s point of view, both the British and Swiss made J W Benson movements are desirable and comparable in quality.
