Benrus Watches DTU UBvsVertex Bronze 36 Green

Owners widely praise the Benrus Watches DTU UB for its attractive design and 38mm case size, which closely replicates the original military issue watch and is considered a comfortable dimension. The watch features a screw-down crown, AR coating, and double-domed sapphire crystal. Accuracy for the ETA 2892-A2 movement is acceptable, with standard grades allowing up to +/- 15 seconds per day. One owner reported their watch ran at +5 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the Benrus Watches DTU UB highly for its faithful reissue design and wearable size.

Owners widely praise the Vertex Bronze 36 Green for its excellent build quality, comfortable 36mm wearability, and exceptionally bright, legible dial with Super Luminova numerals. Some owners, however, express a preference for a slightly larger 38mm or 39mm case, while others find the 36mm size perfect. The dial color is a point of contention for some, and the £2,150 price for a Sellita SW260-1 automatic movement is noted. A desire for a manual-wind movement to better honor historical designs is mentioned by a few reviewers, though the automatic is acknowledged as practical. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Vertex Bronze 36 Green a wonderful modern interpretation of a classic field watch, with its superior case construction and legibility being key strengths.
