Benrus “Engraved Tank" men’s Art Deco design wristwatch in chromium-plated 14K white gold fill with original bracelet, circa 1929.


This unusual Benrus model has a stepped case with an engraved bezel and a 21-jewel movement. Benrus named its watches, but I have yet to find a period advertisement showing this model. It is excellent condition showing only very light wear to the chromium plating. Caseback is excellent, with one dent. Underside of lugs show some wear. Case measures 35mm long and 28mm wide. Luminous dial is an older refinish and is very good. Has new glass crystal. Watch is powered by its correct 21-jewel Benrus manual wind movement, just serviced and running strong. Original, signed Benrus Sportking bracelet has a fabulous Art Deco brick-work pattern and is in very good condition showing some light overall wear, and will adjust to fit wrists from 7-1/4 inches to 7-3/4 inches.
