The Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 is praised for its fashionable and distinctive military-inspired design, featuring a champagne dial and a polished and brushed case with a ceramic bezel insert.

The price point of $1700 is considered high by one reviewer. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Benrus Watches TYPE 1 M1 appealing for its unique design and historical military roots, despite some reservations about its price and bezel grip.

Helgray Superfast Automatic - Silver Panda
