Manual winding Cal.Smith

Features/selling points: This time, I would like to introduce J.W. Benson's hand-wound watch. A representative collection of the company with a beautiful round shape manufactured in the 1950s. This is a watch fan's favorite that creates a unique atmosphere created by a high-end jeweler.

This product is a 9 solid gold model equipped with a hand-wound caliber with 16 jewels. The dial is a combination of silver two-tone classical Roman indexes and blued hands. It has a good appearance design with a small seconds dial at 6 o'clock. 9 Solid gold case is a cylinder form with a hallmark. The back cover is a snapback with an engraved dedication. The band is equipped with an external leather strap. It is a stylish gem recommended for those who like ivy and traditional fashion, and those who are looking for a particular antique watch.

J.W.BENSON: J.W. Benson is a luxury jeweler founded in London, England in 1847. He sells gems and jewellery, as well as watchmaking. Buying from the same brand became his status at the time, and his name became known. It is a popular brand that has been loved by many British gentlemen and ladies for a long time, with the proud title of "purveyor to the British royal family".

Dial (Dial): Changes over time such as burns, stains, and dirt are observed. There is no fading of characters and memory. A needle, the index changes with time.

Case/back cover: Scratches and scratches are recognized. You can see the engraving on the back cover. There are no large dents.

Windshield: There are no particularly noticeable large threads or scratches. Adequate daily visibility is ensured when worn.

Belt: Made outside the company. There is a feeling of use, but it can be installed immediately.

Method of operation: The knob on the side of the case is the crown. Manual winding can be done in the same position.

Since this is a hand-wound watch, please use the crown to wind up the mainspring every day. The mainspring may break if the mainspring is wound more strongly than it stops, so please wind it up as slowly and gently as possible. Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) and wind it up by pushing it forward with the belly of your fingertip.

When the crown is pulled out and turned, the hands move and the time can be adjusted. There is no hack function (second hand stop).

Accessories: BOX and belt (for fitting).

Day difference/size: The daily difference is within 60 seconds in the 24-hour actual measurement. (There may be some difference in posture when mounting). 16mm lug width. The case diameter is about 31mm (excluding the crown), the length (from lug to lug) is about 38mm, and the thickness is about 9.5mm (including the windshield).
