Benrus's SeaChief

Post by AtomicTom » Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:54 am

Not sure if you had a look a the new Benrus SeaChief already guys.

The SeaChief looks to pay tribute to the Benrus Type I. Having details like
an eye-catching 44mm stainless steel case, 300m WR, sapphire crystal,
two tone diver's bezel, and black dial with vintage/tan Super-Luminova
coated markers, and hands, and red 12. On top of that, you have a sand
NATO, and Japanese automatic.

A few pictures...

It looks like they haven’t finished machining the case.

Symmetry is off with the case extending to function as crown guards.

I think the dial, if it did not have day/date, looks great. The red 12, front shape and vintage style lume all look great together. Bezel looks out of place, too modern for the vintage feel. Case is ok but reminds me a Karlskrona case, especially side view.

I prefer the original design for the case. That just looks too clunky for me.
