Benetton were a huge fashion business, and they got the people at Bulova to make their watches for them.  Model reference 513.2003.14

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Sadly there are no papers with this watch, and neither does it use the Bulova date coding system, so we are going on when Benetton were are their largest, in the early nineties, as a likely period of production.  We know the movement didn’t come out until 1990, so I can not be before then.

CONDITION

Fashion watches were, and are, big business.  By volume they still make up the majority of watch sales, and many businesses then and now wanted a piece of the market.  Bentetton were unusual though in employing an established watch making company in making their watches for them, and allowing them to be credited too.  Porsche Design did this with IWC too, but that is the only other example that we can think of.  The neon colours and style of the dial are very typical for the early nineties, and while this may not be high end horology it is a perfect fit for the times.  We do like the hollow hands too.  The leather strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour if preferred.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
