Benrus reissues the coveted Type 2

The updated version features upgraded materials while keeping the original styling from 1972.

Acquire highlights the return of the coveted Benrus Type 2, reintroduced with upgraded materials while preserving the unmistakable 1972 design. The new Type 2 MIL SPEC stays true to its military roots with a 39.5 mm sandblasted 316L stainless-steel case, a bi-directional rotating bezel with an aluminium insert, and BW G9 Super-LumiNova for enhanced legibility.

 

The model features a double-domed sapphire crystal with dual anti-reflective coating and offers 365M (1200 ft) water resistance, ensuring durability in demanding conditions. Inside, the watch is powered by the reliable Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve.

Finished with a closed MIL SPEC-engraved caseback and a black rubber strap, the newly reissued Type 2 MIL SPEC blends authentic vintage styling with modern performance—and is now available through Benrus’ online store.
