Benrus Sky Chief Buy VERIFIED

Having not spent time with the original (while certainly being aware of it), I was happy to spend some time with the reincarnated Benrus Sky Chief. While purists may prefer to hunt out the original, a more modern mindset may prefer the asking price of $295 (versus the $2,500 a vintage one in good condition might run), and be willing to take some of the trade-offs. You may not care for the quartz movement contained therein, but there is no disputing the accuracy you will get out of it and its chronograph complication. The new Benrus Sky Chief is what I would call a faithful homage to its forbearer, one that students of those old-school pilot watches will no doubt recognize. benrus.com
