I am reluctantly selling a few pieces due to the need to fund a new purchase.
Offered here is this rare and absolutely stunning early 1960’s Benrus Manual-Wind Diver made in Germany. It’s triple signed: dial/case/movement. Condition is exceptional - 9.5/10. The watch sat in a drawer for most of its life due to a broken mainspring the original owner did not know how to get fixed. It’s a time capsule, with almost no signs of use.
It powered by a Benrus signed, 17 jewel, French made Lorsa-P75A movement. This has been fully serviced in April 2023, is super clean and is working perfectly and keeping excellent time.
The lume has aged beautifully to a creamy and even patina across the dial and hands. Dial is a beautiful mat black, and uni-directional bezel is in perfect condition. Worth noting is the tiny white spec on dial between 7 & 8, most likely an original manufacturing defect. Could easily be repaired, but I left as is, as it barely noticeable honestly.
Size is 37.5mm excluding crown. It’s fitted in a vintage Beads of Rice bracelet that I think pairs perfectly with it. Lugs are 19mm. Overall, the photos tell the story.
Based on the movement and its production, this was most likely an early or “economy” model to the more famous Benrus Ultra Deep & Sea Lord modes.
Asking $1495 plus shipping.
