Description

Gents 1960s Bentima Star wrist watch.

Bentima was a British company who originally made clocks. They were, at one time, the UK importers and agents for Oris watches. Subsequently, the company started marketing their own watches, usually under the name of 'Bentima Star'.

The watch has a 17-jewel Swiss hand-winding movement which is working nicely. There are two empty retaining screw holes within the movement, these screws are not required as the movement is held in place by the case.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The main body of the case is gold plated and it is in beautiful condition. The case back is stainless steel.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands and a subsidiary seconds dial.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.
