Vintage Benrus Date Pointer Calendar Watch 17 Jewels Day Wristwatch - Serviced

Watch Overview

This is a classic vintage Benrus pointer-date wristwatch from the 1950s. It is a manual-wind watch powered by the original Benrus Watch Co. mechanical movement, caliber Model CE 3, featuring 17 jewels, a small seconds sub-dial, a weekday indicator, a central pointer date hand and Swiss made.

The movement operates at 18,000 vibrations per hour and offers an approximate 41-hour power reserve. The watch was recently serviced in January 2026, ensuring proper performance and reliability.

The champagne dial features applied gold-tone Arabic numerals, arrow-style hour markers, a black minute/seconds track, and matching gold-tone hands. The black pointer date hand with a red tip indicates the date along the outer calendar scale. A small seconds sub-dial sits at 6 o’clock, while the weekday indicator is positioned at 12 o’clock.

It is housed in a 32mm round 10K gold-filled case with elegant fancy lugs and is paired with a brand-new brown leather strap. It remains in good vintage condition with honest signs of age and wear. Fully inspected and authenticated by our in-house watchmaker, it is running accurately and ready to wear.
