British vintage Benson alloy rectangular case wristwatch works well
SKU: 174775966
JWBenson is a watch maker with a long history founded in 1847, but after the factory disappeared in World War I, it made watches using Swiss manufacturer movements as a luxury jewelry shop.
It is a watch with a rectangular case called Rectangular, which is rare in Benson.
The movement is made in Switzerland, but the case is a British luxury case maker Denison case.
The belt has been replaced with a new open type one.
The overhaul history is unknown, but the balance swing is good and it is ticking and moving well.
We hope this lovely vintage watch will brighten up your day!
