As a special Holiday release BENRUS presents the new Type 1 on a handmade nubuck watch strap accompanied by a deer grain leather watch travel pouch. Both the strap and travel pouch were produced in a small production run by family-owned leather goods factories in the Venice region of Italy.
The calfskin nubuck strap in light blue is constructed of fine Italian leather and handsewn by artisans. The strap features a Swiss Made quick release spring bar and signature Italian made logo buckle. The handmade deer grain calfskin watch travel pouch offered in navy blue is also constructed of fine Italian leather. The snap on the pouch is produced in Italy and is installed with a crystal protecting cover in the interior. The pouch comes with a case back protector ensuring that your metal bracelet does not scratch your case back.
In 1972, the United States Military requested a watch for American soldiers in Vietnam that was far more robust than any watch previously requested and that could meet the requirements of the specialized UDT (Underwater Demolitions Team) divers and for field functionality - the Type I was born. Originally produced from 1972 through 1980, it was never made available to the public. Fifty years later, there is no need to look elsewhere than BENRUS to put an authentic Type I on your wrist.
In honor of its military heritage, the new Limited Edition Type I brings back the same iconic design in its original form, but with all the improvements afforded by current watchmaking technology. Honoring the original details, every measure was taken to ensure the recreation of this improved, but true to original case, including a hacking Swiss ETA movement,
original dial design and bezel aesthetics. The new Type I even meets the depth rating standards of the original military contract, rated to 30ATM and including the original case back inscription but with the current date and limited serial numbers for this edition only. >>>>https://cutt.ly/J0Mpdox
