As previously stated, these watches were manufactured by Benrus, though it wouldn’t be entirely fair to credit the timepieces’ design entirely to Benrus, for reasons we’ll now explore. The watches in question today are the Type I and II from Benrus, which if you’re not already familiar with, you’re about to want one very soon.
With an eye for rugged durability, lasting design, and historical significance, we now take a look at a family of watches regarded by many as one of the best of the best, and with very good reason. Throughout history, many of the most celebrated watchmakers have lent a hand to militaries of the world by way of wristwatch production, though as one might expect, not all military issued timepieces were created equally. While those that collect vintage military watches in today’s day and age could largely be described as so-called “desk divers,” knowing that your watch is capable of handling whatever it may encounter is a reassuringly epic feeling.
