![]() The Type II (and its sibling Type I) both came from the US Government MIL-W-50717 specification for a heavy-duty dive and field watch. We have already reviewed the outstanding DTU-2A/P reissue of the 1960s vintage field watch, and today we’ve got the Benrus Type II field/dive watch first issued in the 1970s. After all, when you have a brand with a history as storied and respected as Benrus, you’d be crazy not to reach into the vault and retrieve some of the most beloved watches America has ever produced. In 2020, Benrus Watches launched its first model as a newly resurrected brand, and while the Heritage Field Watch was nice, I lamented the fact that the brand had not started off with something closer to its roots.
