Hello r/watchexchange! Up for sale today is my Benrus Type II reissue. From W&W: Founded in 1921 in NYC, Benrus’ history has been deeply entrenched in 20th-century Americana. In the mid twnties, Charles Lindbergh was the brand’s chief ambassador. Later, icons such as Babe Ruth would promote Benrus’ sports watches, while Steve McQueen would wear a Benrus field watch in Bullitt. However, the Vietnam war would shift the brand’s focus to helping fulfill contracts for the military. When the U.S. military put out a call to produce the MIL-W-50717, a robust dive watch intended for use by UDT, Navy Seals, and other special operatives that would need to withstand deep diving and serious abuse in combat situations, Benrus came up with the Type 1 and Type 2. My example is a recreation of these original type II watches and was produced in July 2022.
