SubmitBrand: Benrus
Model: Wrist Alarm Series #3021; Swiss Made circa 1960s
Case: Solid stainless steel case is approximately 34.5mm excluding the matching original "BENRUS" signed winding crowns
Bracelet/Strap: Vintage 11/16" (~18mm) tapered crocodile-grain leather strap with polished tang buckle; also includes what we believe to be the original stainless steel expansion bracelet
Movement: A. Schild cal. 1475 manual-winding movement (17 jewels) with functioning mechanical alarm; 18,000 BPH; Swiss Made
Features: Stunning original silver sunburst dial with oversized Arabic numerals at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock; original Tritium hands with nice yellow patina; original center sweeping-seconds hand; functioning mechanical alarm with red-arrow alarm indicator hand; dual-matching original signed crowns (top crown winds and sets the alarm and bottom crown winds and sets the watch); solid stainless steel case with domed acrylic crystal
Condition: Fantastic original condition overall with only minor honest wear consistent with age and light use; solid stainless steel case is thick and sharp and appears to be completely unpolished; crisp caseback remains clearly legible; perfect original silver sunburst dial; original Tritium hands with attractive yellow patina; clean domed acrylic crystal
Other: It's no secret that we love vintage mechanical alarm watches and this collector-grade Benrus Wrist Alarm is no exception. The silver sunburst dial with elongated Arabic numerals is absolutely incredible (especially out in the sun), and the vintage strap perfectly complements the red-arrow alarm indicator hand. 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).
