Benson Triple Calendar Moonphase 34mm, a breathtaking survivor from an era when complicated watchmaking was the ultimate hallmark of a gentleman’s timepiece. J.W. Benson, the prestigious London-based jeweller to the Royal Family, was renowned for sourcing high-quality Swiss components and movements, and this mid-century \"full calendar\" is a perfect example of their horological eye. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeaturing a 34mm gold-plated case that curves over your wrist with tapered lugs for an elegant, slim profile with a thickness of just 10.5mm. The round flanks lead to a 42mm lug-to-lug length, giving it a graceful and surprisingly modern wrist presence for a vintage dress watch. Small corrector pushers are discreetly integrated into the case flanks to adjust the various calendar functions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe creamy guilloché dial is a masterclass in layout, balancing a wealth of information without feeling cluttered. It features applied gold-toned Arabic numerals and dagger indexes, framed by an outer date track indicated by a dedicated pointer hand. At 12 o’clock, dual apertures display the day and month, while the star of the show sits at 6 o'clock: a deep blue moonphase sub-dial that tracks the lunar cycle with golden celestial details. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the reverse, a snap-on case back protects the legendary manually wound Venus Calibre 203. This 15-jewel Swiss movement was the gold standard for mid-century complications, featuring a sophisticated modular construction that allows for the simultaneous tracking of date, day, month, and moonphase. Beating at 18,000 vibrations per hour. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch comes paired with an 18mm leather strap, which complements the warm, vintage tones of the dial and case.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.W.Benson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56603737948540,"sku":"1363818","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_801ff0e8-c73a-4c8f-8fe8-a8ddf22c8ef2.jpg?v=1775584850","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1950s-j-w-benson-triple-calendar-moonphase-venus-203-34mm","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
