Other: It's no secret that we love vintage mechanical alarm watches and this beautiful 1960s Benrus Wrist Alarm is no exception. The unique silver sunburst dial with mirror track and elongated Arabic numerals is absolutely gorgeous (especially out in the sun). It exhibits just the right pop of color with the red/white/blue insignia and red-arrow alarm indicator hand, and the vintage strap compliments the watch perfectly. While the LeCoultre Memovox and Vulcain Cricket get all the praise, other super cool and affordable alarms fly quietly under the radar (but not for long).
