14K yellow gold automatic 1940's Retro-Modern Benrus, a great design with curled lugs, from this quintessentially American marketer and maker. As with most Americna watches from 1930's to the 1960's, the movements were made in Switzerland, but the designs were American, driven by a competitive design market that brought Benrus, Hamilton, and other top brands to the peak of the design market in these decades.

This collectible Benrus has a waterproof back, engraved as follows: 'waterproof' 'self-winding' 'Benrus' and '14K gold'. 32mm round case with extended elaborate lugs, in excellent condition.
