BENRUS TECHNOQUARTZ

Here is a fine example of the very rare Benrus Technoquartz electronic watch , Circa early 1970s . One of the earliest quartz movements with nearly all of Benrus electronic movements during the 1970s being supplied by the famous Lip company . Brand new old stock and awesome retro styling with its large chunky case . Benrus are getting very collectable , especially the harder to find models like this . Cutting edge technology of its time went into this watch . It has an ETA mechanical movement adapted to take motorola electronics to power it . The picture of the movement comes from an identical watch and is the same as in this model . As you can see it has metal plates and gears unlike and far removed from todays cheap plastic quartz movements . It has fabulous looks to with a gorgeous blue/silver coloured dial and furnished with chrome hands and quick set day/date . Check out the second hand - it has a " Z " on the end to signal it is a quartz . The massive rectangular case is in brushed chromium plate with truncated corners - so 1970s . The crown is signed with the benrus insignia . Comes fitted on a quality , new , leather strap . Running perfectly having just been serviced and holding time very well . Rare , handsome , collectable and at this price is an investement .
