This one is a really nice watch, it has a great display with a good weight and quality feel.

I have one that I got from Ed a couple of year back, the description on the listing has it as a Texas Instruments but I remember that Ed did some research into the history of this particular watch and traced it's origins back to Benrus.

Update: I found Ed's original post regarding this watch.

It's hard to find one of those intact, with everything. I recently had a close call, almost took a trade of a "Wells" - sort of. There is an early Benrus with the time button at 3 and the setter at 5 oclock - it has the same bezel opening as the Well. Someone had pried out the front bezel "dial" from a Well 100 and installed them in the poor Benrus. A real Wells 100 will have a screw on the back, for pointing at HR or MN. You then hold the time command down to advance the setting. Watch out for those bogus ones. And don't let someone convince you Wells made a subsequent model with the other movement and setting layout.
