Benrus Watches TYPE 2 MIL Spec

The Benrus TYPE 2 MIL SPEC is widely praised for its robust build and faithful vintage military design, featuring a legible matte black dial with Arabic numerals and a 24-hour scale, housed in a 39.5mm sandblasted stainless steel case. Owners describe it as exceptionally durable and a capable tool watch with comfortable wearability. The watch utilizes an ETA 2892 automatic movement and offers 365 meters of water resistance. Some reviewers note that the lume is not exceptionally bright and the strap hardware's finish may clash with the sandblasted case, while one owner found the $1495 price high. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Benrus TYPE 2 MIL SPEC highly for its authentic milspec aesthetic and durable construction.

Orient Diver Design 40

Some owners find the Kamasu-style dial layout with arrow and sword hands and applied markers a disappointing change from the original's simpler design. Overall, owners rate the Orient Diver Design 40 highly for its value and dependable movement.
