Alright, let’s jaw about this Benrus field watch thing. I ain’t no fancy watch expert, ya hear? Just a plain ol’ person talkin’ ’bout what I know.
So, this Benrus, they say it started way back in 1921, in that big city, New York. A fella named Benjamin Lazarus, they call him Ben-Rus, that’s how the name come about, I reckon. Sounds like a smart fella, makin’ watches and all.
Now, they make all sorts of watches, not just this field watch. I hear tell they made watches for the army fellas, the military guys. Tough watches, I bet, gotta be to stand up to all that rough and tumble. They even made some watches that can go deep in the water, and some with fancy timers, like for racin’ or somethin’.
- Finding Your Benrus: If you got one of these watches and wanna know more, they say there’s a number on it, a serial number they call it. It’s scratched on the inside, on the little gears and such. You can look that number up online, they say, and find out all sorts of stuff – when it was made, what it’s made of, that kinda thing. Sounds like a whole lotta work to me, but you do you.
- Benrus Today: Seems like Benrus went away for a while, back in the 70s, but now they’re back. They got a fancy website and all, makin’ new watches. I hear they even got a new showroom, a place where you can go look at the watches in person. Must be nice, all shiny and new.
This field watch, now, that’s the one we’re talkin’ about. It ain’t no fancy dress-up watch, ya know? It’s a watch for workin’, for bein’ out in the fields, for gettin’ things done. Strong and sturdy, that’s what a field watch should be. Gotta be able to take a bump or two, gotta keep on tickin’ even when things get tough.
I seen some pictures of these old Benrus field watches. They look plain, nothin’ flashy. Just a simple face with numbers, easy to read. And a good strong strap, so it don’t fall off your wrist when you’re swingin’ an axe or milkin’ a cow, or whatever it is you do. That’s what matters, ain’t it? Not how fancy it looks, but how well it works.
Comparing Benrus to Others: Some folks, they compare this new Benrus to other watch companies, like that Shinola one. I ain’t never heard of Shinola, myself, but they say it’s a big deal. Guess Benrus is tryin’ to be a big deal again too. Good for them, I say. More watches for folks to choose from.
They got this one watch, the Sky Chief, they talk about it a lot. It’s from the 1940s, they say. Sounds old! It ain’t a field watch, though, it’s one of them fancy timer ones. But it shows ya, Benrus been makin’ all sorts of watches for a long time.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good, solid watch, somethin’ that’ll last ya, this Benrus field watch might be just the ticket. Don’t go expectin’ no diamonds or gold, though. This ain’t no jewelry store watch. This is a watch for real folks, for everyday wear. And that’s alright by me.
Now, I ain’t got no fancy way of talkin’ ‘bout trademarks and patents and all that legal mumbo jumbo. But I hear tell that some company, Benrus Holdings they call ‘em, they own the Benrus name now. So, if you buyin’ a Benrus, make sure it’s the real deal, not some fake copy. Ain’t nobody got time for a watch that don’t keep time.
Anyhow, that’s about all I know ‘bout this Benrus field watch. It’s got a history, that’s for sure. And if you’re lookin’ for a watch that’ll stick with ya, through thick and thin, it might just be the watch for you. Just remember, a watch is more than just somethin’ to tell time. It’s a reminder of the time you got, and how you spend it. So make it count, ya hear?
And one last thing, don’t go spendin’ all your hard-earned money on some fancy watch if you can’t afford it. A watch won’t put food on the table or keep a roof over your head. Priorities, people, priorities. That’s what my mama always said, and she was a smart woman.
