LAYERED LUXURY
The Benham makes use of subtle changes in height to offer a sleek, easy-to-wear watch that’s full of interesting small details. Firstly, the satin-textured black dial is broken up by wide horizontal grooves that provide some soft texture. This is punctuated by a sunken sub-dial above six, which adds a discreet touch of colour in the form of an emerald green seconds hand.
This black dial is framed by a sunken cream chapter ring, onto which the minute track is printed. Then, there are the applied silver hour batons that taper inwards towards the dial’s centre. They’re filled with Grade X1 Super-LumiNova for nighttime legibility and are paired with a tapered silver handset that is also lumed. This multi-layered design gives the Benham Black an excellent sense of depth and complexity, whilst also allowing it to be effortlessly legible.
Housed within the sleek 38.5mm cushion case, the Benham Black makes for an ideal daily wearer that can be dressed up or down.
FEATURES
Tantalising Textures - The dial of the Benham features a satin black dial that's textured with horizontal grooves. Around this bold dial is a sunken cream-coloured minute track.
Curvaceous Comfort - The cushion case sits comfortably on any wrist, with a thickness of only 10.5mm and a compact lug-to-lug of 43.8mm.
Manual Drive - The watches in the Cushion Case collection are powered by Swiss hand-wound mechanical movements with custom decoration, which can be viewed through a sapphire case back.
Night Light - The hands and markers are filled with luminous Super-LumiNova for supreme legibility in the dark.
STORY
The Benham is named after Gertrude Benham, an English explorer and mountaineer. Born in 1867, Benham began climbing mountains from an early age. Remarkably for the period, Benham always travelled alone, only accompanied by local guides and porters. Throughout the course of her life, she completed seven circumnavigations of the globe and climbed over 300 mountains. In 1916, she was named a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society. She was also the first woman to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, and one of the summits of Mount Rogers in British Columbia, Truda Peaks, is named after her.

If you look up the definition of elegance, you will find that it means “pleasingly ingenious and simple.” That is the Lethbridge in a nutshell.→
At 38.5mm wide with short, curved lugs, the Mansfield’s fully polished case sits perfectly on the wrist, relatively small and elegant, in a cool, distinctly modern way.→
The watch overall is stunning, feels weighty (but not heavy) for what it is, and its overall slim appearance and size look great as both a sporty and dress model that would look equally smart peeking out from under a suit cuff or with a t-shirt and jeans.→
