irst developed in 1972 for U.S. military special operations, the Benrus Type 2 was created in response to the MIL-W-50717 specification, established for elite units such as the U.S. Navy SEALs, Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) and other special operatives. Engineered to meet the highest standards of precision and durability, the Type 2 quickly became one of the most iconic military watches of its era, trusted in the field for its rugged construction, uncompromising functionality, and absolute reliability.

Originally designed alongside the legendary Type 1, the Type 2 stood out with its mission-ready design, making it a true tool for professionals operating in the most demanding environments.

Today, as part of its new 2025 collection, Benrus proudly reintroduces this historic model with the Type 2 MIL SPEC, a modern evolution that remains faithful to the original military blueprint while enhancing it with contemporary Swiss engineering and upgraded materials. Purpose-built and uncompromising, it carries forward the utilitarian spirit of the past, now reimagined for today’s collectors and adventurers.

Measuring 39.5 mm in diameter with a 14.4 mm height, the case strikes the perfect balance between robustness and comfort. The double-domed sapphire crystal with dual anti-reflective coating ensures maximum clarity, while the BW G9 Super-LumiNova guarantees legibility in even the darkest environments.

The bi-directional rotating bezel, crafted in sandblasted 316L stainless steel with an aluminium inner ring, further enhances its functionality, whether used for timing dives or field operations. With 36.5 ATM water resistance (1200 feet) and a screw-down crown, the Type 2 Mil Spec is prepared for extreme conditions above and below the surface.

At its core beats the Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability and precision, offering a 42-hour power reserve. The watch is paired with a black rubber strap with pin buckle, providing durability and comfort for long missions or daily wear.

The sandblasted caseback bears the proud MIL SPEC engraving, a testament to its uncompromising origins and enduring military legacy.
