Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

The Benrus Dato Ref. 73463 is sometimes referred to as the "Poor Mans Autavia" as it features the same case used in the ever popular Heuer Autavia and the same design and features found in the Heuer Autavia including the same 73463 case reference # as the Heuer Autavia, the manual wind Valjoux 7734 movement, and with original black dial with orange accents as the similar Heuer model. The striking high visibility orange hands paired with the stunning dial make this an eye catching piece.
