Condition: Very nice original condition overall with minor honest wear consistent with age and use; sharp solid stainless steel case appears to be completely unpolished with minimal wear throughout; crisp caseback remains clearly legible with the original brushed finish in the center; attractive original silver sunburst dial with vibrant tri-color "flag" logo; original hands with all luminous material in tact and aged to a beautiful yellow hue
Other: The trademark Benrus tri-color "flag" logo is the star of the show here, but who doesn't love a sharp and unpolished stainless steel case? Some believe that the cool red/yellow/blue logo is a playful nod to the Romanian origin of Benrus Watch Company co-founder, Oscar Lazrus (although the colors are inverted). Regardless, the logo adds a nice pop of color to the silver sunburst dial with elongated hour markers. This particular model can be dressed up or down depending on mood, and the relatively thin profile of the 34mm case slides nicely under a cuff - It's a bargain for well under $500.
