This is a vintage Benrus ladies dress wristwatch, dating back to the 1950s. It is a manual wind timepiece, powered by a Benrus Watch Co. movement, caliber R78 (HB90), featuring 17 jewels.

The watch is housed in a gold-tone 16mm round-shaped case with fancy lug design, featuring a base metal bezel and a stainless steel back. 

The original champagne dial is adorned with gold Arabic numerals, gold hour markers, and matching gold hands. The dial is signed "Benrus" at the top and "17 Jewels" at the bottom.

This watch is still in good condition. It runs very well and keeps great time!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size. 

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust the lighting, when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.  

The condition is pre-owned.   
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. 
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.  
 
It will be carefully packed.
