Benz Micro Aircraft Chronograph

W

but what about the art, the craft, the REAL style? If the ads are true and you are your watch, then what does being a Rolex clone say about you?

I'd much prefer a nice watch by Ernst Benz, the Swiss Engineer, Inventor, and Pilot.

Benz, whose name is well known for his 1970's stereo cartridge, the Benz Micro, is also a pilot, and created the Benz Micro Aircraft Chronograph which has become standard equipment in many planes around the world.

In response to the many inquiries received from fellow pilots, he then decided to design and build a large format automatic wristwatch version.

These oversize 47mm diameter watches with a Valjoux 7750 movement are produced in limited quantities, and is loaded with diamonds; on the Outer Bezel - 48 stones, 3.5 carats. And the Inner Bezel has 64 stones, bringing the total up to 5 carats! And you can get yours at Citimex International (65-6392 1268) for the bargain price of just $10,995.
