1970's Benrus Citation Diver (Original Band and Original Box) - Electronic
This 1970s Benrus Citation Diver is a bold, transitional-era piece that blends classic dive-watch styling with early electronic innovation. Built during the shift from purely mechanical watches to battery-powered technology, it represents a fascinating moment in horological history.
The case has that unmistakable 1970s diver presence — robust, sporty, and purpose-built. The dial is clean and highly legible, staying true to tool-watch roots while the electronic movement inside marks a step toward the future.
What truly sets this example apart is its completeness: it comes with the original band and original box, something that’s increasingly hard to find and highly desirable to collectors.
Powered by an electronic movement, it offers reliable performance while capturing the experimental spirit of the era — when brands like Benrus were pushing boundaries in both design and technology.
A rare, complete-set vintage diver that checks all the boxes: design, history, and collectibility.
