Vintage Men's Wrist Watch Gold Benrus Air Chief Pilot with Original Band, Box and Tag-
Benjamin Lazrus started Benrus in 1921 in New York. At first, Benjamin Lazrus with his two brothers saved up $5,000 and started importing Swiss watch movements to create cases for them in New York City. The headquarters were – and still are – in Manhattan’s Hippodrome building, located in what is known as the jewelry district. In 1929, the Airman watch was introduced. The following decades brought additional success, as new BENRUS timepieces became more and more popular. Their Air Chief pilot watch became known as the “Official Watch of Famous Airlines” in the ‘40s, and in the ‘60s they started producing field watches for American soldiers in Vietnam.
