J. W. Benson London, dress Vintage Watch, 1962

Elegant Silver Dial with Classic London Signature

The dial has a clean and refined vintage appearance, with the J. W. Benson London signature placed below 12 o’clock. The simple hour markers, slim hands and balanced central-seconds layout give the watch a formal and timeless look. The close-up dial photos show a well-preserved original dial surface with subtle age and a very classic dress-watch character.

Compact Stainless Steel Case

The stainless steel case measures approximately 33mm without the crown and 41mm from lug to lug, giving the watch a compact but well-proportioned vintage wrist presence. The case has slim lugs, a polished bezel and a clean side profile, making it ideal for collectors who appreciate refined early-1960s dress watches. The side-view photos show the elegant case lines and the simple, understated shape typical of classic mid-century men’s watches.

Hand-Wound ETA 2391 Movement

Inside is the ETA 2391, a Swiss manual-winding mechanical movement. This caliber is well suited to a slim vintage dress watch, offering traditional daily winding and central seconds. The movement photo shows the serviced mechanical movement, adding collector value and confirming the authentic hand-wound character of this J. W. Benson London watch.
