Unveiled at the Windup Watch Fair in San Francisco, the new Benrus #3061 GT isn’t just a timepiece—it’s a cinematic tribute to speed, heritage, and the King of Cool himself. Channeling the raw energy of Bullitt and the legendary car chase through the streets of San Francisco, this brand-new edition field watch fuses classic style with contemporary performance.
Benrus has been featured in Timekeepers Club with the article “BENRUS #3061 GT Watch,” highlighting the return of a legendary timepiece inspired by Steve McQueen’s iconic 1968 model.
A Cinematic Homage Cast in Steel
Inspired by the 1968 Benrus model worn by Steve McQueen, the #3061 GT tells its story through thoughtful details: the Highland Green dial echoes the Ford Mustang GT Fastback’s signature hue, while the textured surface hints at the city’s iconic grid. Its California dial—a first for the brand—introduces a fresh yet nostalgic design element with ton-sur-ton 24-hour numerals, bridging past and present. Even the second hand pays tribute, taking its shape from the speed indicator of the Mustang Fastback GT featured in the film, further anchoring the watch in its cinematic roots.
