BENRUS 2446C, GMT, in Mint Cond, Just Serviced! All Original, Includes Original Box and Papers.
This is arguably the most stylish stainless steel GMT Chronograph, as well as one of the most beautiful wristwatches ever made.
It is the exact same watch made for Heuer Autavia, only this one was made for the iconic Benrus branding in the same Swiss factory.
It dons three registers on a highly-coveted compressor case, with the most desirable Pepsi Bezel, Circa 1969.
It is the very same model as the Heuer 2446C, only branded a Benrus, which was one of the companies that marketed this legendary beauty.
