Gents 1950s Benrus wrist watch
A gents 1950s Benrus wrist watch.
The watch has a Swiss hand-winding movement, model DM 21, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Benrus name.
Benrus Watch Company was a family concern founded in New York City in 1921 by three Romanian brothers - Oscar, Benjamin, and Ralph. The name "BENRUS" was a combination of Benjamin Lazrus first and last names.
On 14 May 1923, Lazarus acquired the legal protection of the trademark Benrus from the Swiss federal office for intellectual property.
The original company headquarters were located in the Hippodrome building on 44th street in Manhattan. While some watch assembly took place there, the bulk of the manufacture took place in Switzerland. Benrus owned a factory in la Choux de Fond where watch movements were assembled. This factory was run by the first woman in Swizerland to run a major Swiss company.
The watch itself measures 25mm wide excluding the winding crown and 25mm high excluding the shaped lugs. The case is gold plated with a stainless steel case back. If viewed closely, there is some rubbing to the corners but overall the condition is good for a 1950s piece.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial is in its original finish, a little light marking but nothing too bad at all.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch will be sent 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.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
