One of very few commercially available vintage Mil-Spec dive watches*
Originally produced from 1972 through 1980, the Type I was developed at the request of the United States Military for American soldiers in Vietnam. Designed to be far more robust than any watch previously requested and meet the requirements of the specialized UDT (Underwater Demolitions Team) divers and for field functionality, it was never made available to the public. Honoring its military heritage, the new Type I-C brings back the same iconic design in its original form and in the most patriotic colors. Honoring many of the same details from the original military contract, including case design and bezel aesthetics, the Type I-C has the same depth rating of 30ATM and is now Swiss Made, powered by a Soprod P024 automatic movement with a 38-hour power reserve. Look no further than BENRUS to put an authentic Type I on your wrist - the creator of one of the world’s most highly sought-after U.S. military dive watches ever.
