Vintage Benrus Ladies Gold-Toned Wristwatch

This is a vintage Benrus ladies' wristwatch, likely dating from the mid-20th century (circa 1940s-1950s). The timepiece features a distinctive shield-shaped or tonneau-style gold-toned case with art deco sculptural lugs. The dial is off-white or silvered with applied golden Arabic numerals at the primary hour markers and dot indices for the remainder. The 'BENRUS' brand name is clearly printed below the 12 o'clock position. The watch is equipped with a matching gold-toned expansion 'twist-o-flex' style bracelet composed of interlocking rectangular links. In terms of condition, the watch shows significant signs of age-related wear, including noticeable tarnish and surface oxidation on the case and bracelet links, particularly visible on the lugs and the interior edges of the band. The acrylic crystal appears to have minor surface scratches consistent with use. The dial exhibits a light patina and some possible discoloration near the edges. This mechanical-era timepiece represents typical mid-century American watch manufacturing craftsmanship, though the current aesthetic state suggests it would benefit from a professional cleaning and movement service to restore its luster and functionality.
