$\"\"$

With a focus on our DTU-2A/P, here’s what the article mentions:

\"That said, some of today’s field watches recreate the soldierly styling in forensic detail. When Benrus restarted production of a watch worn by US soldiers in Vietnam, it was important that its appearance remained as close as possible to the original. “Reissuing our military watches isn’t about nostalgia, it’s about stewardship,” says Darius Solomon, senior vice-president of operations at Benrus. “The DTU‑2A/P wasn’t a style exercise but a response to the US Defence Department’s MIL‑W‑3818B specification. Our 2025 reissue stays faithful to those original specs and details because you can’t cherry‑pick heritage, and when you go back to the original 34mm size, hands, dial details, you discover how perfectly balanced the design was.”

Benrus DTU-2A/P 34mm

We’re proud to share that BENRUS has been featured in a review by Mainspring Watch Magazine, highlighting the BENRUS DTU-2A/P.

$\"\"$

Described as “more than being a declaration of horological freedom,” the DTU-2A/P is praised as “a little gem of historical military timekeeping, recreated by a brand that has legitimacy in the field.”

The reviewer goes on to say:

“I believe that this BENRUS DTU-2A/P is the best spec’ed 34mm field watch currently in existence, and at the very least, the only one that can claim a legitimate heritage.”

They also emphasise the importance of staying true to the original format:

“This type of dial design doesn’t need to be—and shouldn’t be—made larger as it is perfectly legible in a 34mm case.”

A glowing review that celebrates both authenticity and precision.

Benrus Featured in The New York Times: A Vintage American Watchmaker Returns

Benrus is proud to be featured in The New York Times, highlighting our bold return to the world stage with a reintroduction rooted in legacy, resilience, and innovation.

$\"\"$

Founded in 1921 in Manhattan, Benrus rose to become one of America's most iconic watchmakers, producing around a million watches per year by the 1960s. Our timepieces were worn by historical figures including President John F. Kennedy, Steve McQueen, and Charles Lindbergh, and were trusted by the U.S. military.

Now, after a multimillion-dollar investment and years of dedicated work, Benrus is back with a collection that bridges heritage and modern craftsmanship. Unveiled at the Time to Watch exhibition in Geneva, the new lineup includes:

\n
Model 3061, inspired by the watch Steve McQueen wore in Bullitt (1968)
\n
\n
DTU-2A/P, a 34mm military reissue based on a 1962 Vietnam War-era piece
\n
\n
Type 1 and Type 2, originally worn by Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, now water-resistant to 360 meters
\n

While we embrace Swiss production—opening a facility in La Chaux-de-Fonds this year—Benrus proudly keeps its headquarters in the Hippodrome Building on Sixth Avenue, where it all began more than a century ago.

\"It’s history repeating itself,\" says Chairman Michael Sweeney. \"Benrus was always a top American brand. Now it’s the only one still U.S.-owned.\"

With prices ranging from $964 to $2,000, our goal is to fill the growing demand for accessible, midrange Swiss Made mechanical watches from a brand with real heritage.

Benrus Debut Type 1 M1 Blending Mil-Spec Design with Modern Luxury

In a recent feature, Oracle Time explores the newly released Benrus Type 1 M1, a modern reinterpretation of the brand’s legendary 1970s Type 1 MIL-SPEC military diver. While it retains the structural DNA of a true mil-spec watch—with its 41.5mm case, 200m water resistance, and ETA 2892 automatic movement—the Type 1 M1 introduces a softer, more luxurious twist designed for everyday civilian wear.

$\"\"$

Unlike its all-business predecessor, the Type 1 M1 features a polished satin-brushed case and a striking champagne sunray dial, replacing the utilitarian blacks and greens of the original. It also includes a Benrus logo and a sapphire exhibition caseback, further signalling its shift from combat tool to refined, lifestyle timepiece. The champagne fabric strap ties the look together, offering a balance between rugged NATO functionality and laid-back elegance.

Oracle Time notes that while the M1 dials down the military intensity, it still honours Benrus’s tool-watch roots. With a price of CHF 1,758 (approx. £1,630), it’s a versatile and thoughtfully updated piece aimed at collectors who appreciate vintage heritage with a contemporary edge.

The BENRUS DTU-2A/P Field Watch

In a recent article, Monochrome takes a close look at the Benrus DTU-2A/P, a compact military reissue that honours the brand’s deep history. Founded in 1921 in New York City, Benrus became one of the best-known American watchmakers of the mid-20th century, producing over a million watches per year by the 1950s and counting clients like JFK, Babe Ruth, and Charles Lindbergh among its wearers.

$\"\"$

Originally designed for U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War, the DTU-2A/P was the first watch to meet the upgraded MIL-W-3818B military specifications in 1962. The 2025 reissue keeps the same spirit alive with a 34mm sandblasted steel case, a sterile matte black dial, and a solid caseback engraved with military markings. While faithful in design, the watch features modern upgrades like a double-domed sapphire crystal and improved 100m water resistance.

Inside, it’s powered by the Swiss ETA 2671 automatic movement, known for its compact size and reliability—perfect for a case that stays true to vintage proportions. The dial is clean, highly legible, and free of branding, with Super-LumiNova adding visibility and a subtle nod to the past.

$\"\"$

Monochrome praises the DTU-2A/P for being an authentic field tool with historical credibility and timeless military style. While its size may not be for everyone, those drawn to heritage, simplicity, and purpose-built design will find it a compelling piece—especially at CHF 892 (excl. VAT).

Beauty and Innovation in Challenging Times

We’re excited to share that Benrus has been featured in Forbes Romania!

Founded in 1921 in Manhattan by Romanian-born Lazrus brothers, Benrus quickly made its mark on the watch industry, gaining the support of icons like Babe Ruth, Charles Lindbergh, and Steve McQueen. The brand was a pioneer in innovation and marketing, and in 1927 made history by appointing Alice Christian as CEO, selling over a million watches per year.

$\"\"$

This year, Benrus is making a strong comeback with the support of Romanian partner Ion Schiau, reintroducing some of its most celebrated models. Highlights include the DTU-2A/P, a 1964 military watch reissued in 2025 with a modern automatic movement, the Type I and Type II worn by U.S. Navy SEALs and Army Rangers, and the Benrus #3061, a reissue of the watch worn by Steve McQueen in Bullitt.

Rooted in our historic New York City origins, the 3061 GT is celebrated for its strong connection to Bullitt and the enduring cool of Steve McQueen. The article praises the watch’s thoughtful design — from the Highland Green textured dial inspired by the Mustang GT Fastback, to subtle nods like the orange seconds hand and our first-ever California dial.

With its 39.5mm stainless steel case, Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement, and cinematic details throughout, the 3061 GT is positioned as a field watch reimagined for life in the fast lane.

Benrus DTU-2A/P 34mm Featured on The Calibrated Wrist

We’re proud to share that The Calibrated Wrist has featured an article from Mainspring Watch Magazine highlighting the BENRUS DTU-2A/P.

$\"\"$

The reviewer adds:
“I believe that this BENRUS DTU-2A/P is the best spec’ed 34mm field watch currently in existence, and at the very least, the only one that can claim a legitimate heritage.”

They also emphasise the importance of preserving the original proportions:
“This type of dial design doesn’t need to be—and shouldn’t be—made larger as it is perfectly legible in a 34mm case.”

A glowing review that celebrates authenticity, craftsmanship, and heritage.

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.

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.

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.
