TYPE 1 M1

The BENRUS TYPE 1 M1 is a bold evolution of the legendary Type 1 MIL-SPEC watch once issued to U.S. elite forces in the 1970s. Reimagined for the modern wearer, it features a 41.5mm satin stainless steel case with polished bevels and a distinctive champagne dial – a contemporary twist on the original no-logo design. Enhanced with BG W9 Super-LumiNova markers and hands, a ceramic inner bezel ring, and a uni-directional rotating bezel, the TYPE 1 M1 delivers dependable performance with a refined military aesthetic.
