Very cool art deco Benrus in white gold from c.1930. Large reinforced 14k white gold tank style case with fancy engraved corner lugs with black enamel applied for contrast and a blue enamel bezel with white gold numerals. This watch was Benrus' answer to the Bulova Lone Eagle which commemorated Charles Lindburgh, but with the blue enamel bezel. The case is considered by most collectors as solid gold even though it is "supported by metal" which simply means it's mostly gold, as in not plated or filled. One or two flea bites in the blue enamel are not noticed without magnification. The hinged snap back case is in good condition with some tool marks from opening the back over the years but still in good condition and very serviceable. 28mm x 36mm with 17mm spring bar lugs. The Silvered dial has been carefully restored and looks like new as do the blued steel hands set. Inside is the original Benrus 15 jewel movement that is running strong and keeping good time. Fitted with a new Hirsch black lizzard grain strap.
