Product Details

A unique piece from the fascinating transition period between mechanical and quartz watches. This vintage Benrus Electronic Citation is powered by the original Swiss HS19 17-jewel electronic movement, using a transistor-driven balance wheel rather than a traditional mechanical escapement or quartz oscillator. The rich brown sunburst dial, bold 1970s case design, and day-date complication give this watch fantastic vintage wrist presence.
