Benrus DTU Watch

April 28, 20251 min read

For over a century, Benrus has been making history, especially on the wrists of the US military. Now, they’re honouring their iconic MIL-W-3818B field watches from the 60s with the new Benrus DTU Collection, finally ready for civilian deployment and shipping end of May 2025.  

Whether you prefer faithful vintage or a modern twist, there’s a DTU for your mission. The DTU-2A/P painstakingly recreates the original 34mm Vietnam-era steel case, subtly upgraded with 100m water resistance and a screw-down crown, powered by a Swiss ETA 2671 automatic movement (42+ hr PR, hacking). For a bolder take, the 38mm DTU UB features a bronze case and green dial, while the DTU Phantom, with its black PVD coating and black dial, is ready for ‘clandestine operations’. Both modern versions pack a Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement (42+ hr PR, hacking). The stealthy Phantom edition, complete with domed sapphire and green nylon strap, is available for $1500. Get ready to salute some serious wrist game.
