Description

Gents 1950s Smiths wrist watch for J W Benson.

The watch has a 16-jewel Smiths movement, stamped Made in England, which is working nicely.

The watch measures 31mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is chromium plated and it is in very nice condition with just the odd small mark, nothing too serious at all. The case back is stainless steel and it is signed inside with the J W Benson name. The case was made by the English watch case maker, Dennison Watch Case Company.

The lens is in good condition (some reflection showing in the photos).

The dial is signed with the name of the original retailer, J W Benson. It is in its original finish with original blued steel hands, a subsidiary seconds dial and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
