Hello, I was handed down a Gold Benrus Citation elecrtonic three star when my dad passed. The watche was given to him around 1970 or 71.
From what I can gather, the watch uses a battery to run a mechanical movement, and were only made for a few years.
Constructed from : Gold and stainless, stampped on back "Base metal bezel-Stainless steel back"
Crystal di : 30mm
Body size : 36mm wide X 40mm tall
Condition: good to very good

On the lower face under the 6 mark at the extreme edge of the crystal it has written, "3112 SWISS 313"

I'm looking for an aproximate value, and also how common this watch is if possable. Sorry about the quality of the photos, not the best digital camera.

Thanks

Value is low other than sentimental. Maybe around $100. It isn't what collectors are after.
