The compacter BENU version exhibits harmoniously balanced proportions. While the case is inspired by the original, the upbeat, vibrantly styled numerals add a touch of ebullience. They endow the 37 ARABIC with dynamic appeal and elegance, accentuated by reminiscences of the swing era.
37 ARABIC Vintage
A captivating stainless steel model with a universal format and fine details that pay tribute to the craftsmanship of the manufactory.
37 ARABIC Black&White
Black and white – no other pair of opposites has a better command of contrasts. Whether in fashion, architecture, or design – the two non-colours always appear modern but never overly trendy. They accentuate without being obtrusive. They are puristic but by no means monotonous. They appear contrary to each other yet are completely harmonious. A perfect liaison.
For the 37-millimetre case, the characteristic BENU hands were scaled down proportionally. Through the display back, the watch enthusiast can admire the balanced composition of the calibre 102.1 featuring the High-Artistic finish. The 37 ARABIC, TEFNUT 36, and TEFNUT Twist constitute an exquisite collection of interesting timepieces in universally appealing formats.
The deep black dial allows the lines of the white elements to stand out brilliantly. Brilliant 750/000 white gold effectively sets off the case and the winding crown and gives the watch an exquisite frame. A strap made of black alligator leather with a white gold clasp underlines the elegant design character.
The case
The design of the 41-millimetre 37 case was adap- ted for the smaller 37-millimetre version. The finesse of the bezel, the elegant, ergonomic crown with the ang- led flutes, as well as the gently curved and chamferedstrap lugs complement the aesthetics of this timepiecethat hugs the wrist with pleasant comfort. Available in 750/000 rose gold or white gold, the cases crown their elegant contours with a noble gloss.
The dial
The face of the 37 is characterised by exceptional brown-violet Arabic numerals. As regards style and colour, they contrast well against the solid silver dial to assure excellent legibility. The minute scale lies on a flange that with the fine-tipped hand allows precise readings of time. The hands are annealed to a signature brown-violet hue. Their rhomboid shape, even in the smaller format, revealsthe typical hallmarks of the BENU series.
