Product Details
Babe Ruth Shock Proof USA
This is a unique antique timepiece from 1929- the Babe Ruth Shock Proof art deco wristwatch from Benrus! It is cased in a lovely, art deco stepped case with beautiful engraving on its front and sides. It has a lovely cream dial with a patina that adds to its intrigue. With the crystal on, the dial appears to be a yellowed color due to the aging of the original crystal. The dial features Arabic numerals with stick minute marks tracking around its outside edge, has a very neat facsimile Babe Ruth autograph, and is signed Shock Proof, and U.S.A. The blued steel hands are a beautiful cathedral style! Original crown. The case is engraved Base Metal under the bottom pin for the strap.
The USA movement is adjusted, shock proof, features a safety barrel and 7 jewels. After 94 years, the clean, manual movement still runs quite smoothly and keeps accurate time!
It comes with a black, 16 mm, two-piece leather band that tapers toward the silver buckle.
This antique timepiece will be a great addition to a collection and will make an excellent conversation piece when worn on special occasions!

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended. Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have. It will be carefully packed.
