Benrus, a prominent American watchmaker, flourished in the 1950s as the third-largest watch company in the U.S. This decade saw the introduction of innovative timepieces like the futuristic Dial-a-rama and the Sky Chief chronograph. Benrus also developed unique features such as a winding indicator. Despite facing some challenges including a failed takeover attempt of Hamilton and subsequent legal battles, the company's commitment to innovation and quality craftsmanship during this era solidified its reputation, making vintage Benrus watches a sought after addition for any collector.

Notes

The case of the Benrus shares a normal level of wear throughout. It does have some minor indented marks on the inside of each of the lugs. It's eye-catching plated rose gold case compliments the one-of-a-kind dial featured on this watch. With its jewel filled hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9, and both textured and untextured indices for the remaining markers, we absolutely love the extra flare that piece delivered. Additionally, note the marks spread across the dial and into the sub-seconds register that further present character for this special piece.
