Hi all, up for sale is a great vintage Benrus Ultra Deep Super Compressor. Freshly serviced ETA 2472 automatic movement, EPSA case with original cross hatched crowns and diving helmet inscribed on the caseback. Original dial and hands, although hands appear relumed. This watch was recently used as the banner image on a Wound for Life article discussing vintage super compressors.

Bezel: Original internal bezel operated by the top crown in excellent condition as shown with smooth operation.

Dial and hands: Original dial and hand set. Dial is in excellent condition with even creamy patina on the hour markers. Original cathedral hands appear to be relumed and are slightly lighter in appearance than the dial markers.

Movement: Freshly serviced ETA 2472 automatic movement with all functions working as they should. The watch keeps excellent time.
