ABOUT BELFORTE WATCHES:



Belforte is a vintage watch brand that was introduced as a secondary brand by Benrus, one of America's most

important mid-century watchmakers.



The brand was likely established in the 1950s or early 1960s and was used for budget-

friendly or export market pieces, helping Benrus expand its reach without diluting its

core name.



Belforte watches are typically manual

wind, featuring Swiss or American movements, and were designed to appeal to the

mid-century aesthetic of the era, often with slim indices and minimal branding.
