Benzinger Subscription IV with Roman numeral dial, blue-toned opening and black strap

The Benzinger Subscription IV is a very elegant watch, with a two-part dial in Breguet style and a main plate in blued platinum.

The dial

  • Upper part: hour and minute indexes towards 12 o’clock, skeletonised with a view of the modified minute wheel, the blued-platinum hour wheel and the main plate. Small seconds at 6 o’clock, skeletonised with a view of the mechanism. Hand guilloché, original Breguet-frost finish.
  • Lower part: hand guilloché, original Breguet-frost finish.
  • Breguet hands.

The movement

The movement is guilloché, skeletonised and engraved entirely by hand. Bridges are rhodium-plated, the main plate is finished in blue platinum and all screws are flame blued. In the photographs the blue platinum plate can be seen changing its shade of blue in the light.
