Benrus Ultra-Deep Super Compressor
Benrus Ultra-Deep Super Compressor
One of the most desirable Benrus watches made, and one of only several Ultra-Deep 666ft. rated diver models, this 1960’s super compressor is a wonderful sport watch to have in your collection…or simply just on your wrist.
While there are a fair amount of brands that sold Brevet-cased super compressor models, these Benrus pieces are easily distinguishable by their unique dial + hand combination.
When you see the classic American dive watches of the ‘60s and ‘70s, this one is almost always included — and for good reason.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
