    I am selling my Benrus type II that I purchased from the original owner. Everything is original, intact and in near mint condition. I have never seen another one of these this complete and clean. The movement has been serviced and is running well.

    For a little history on these watches:

    "During the Vietnam War, the US Military contracted Benrus to design and build new dive watches, specifically for covert operations. These watches had to be stealthy, legible, and durable; Benrus delivered in spades. What they came up with was the Benrus Types I and II, military specification MIL-W-50717. These watches would go on to be worn on the wrists of CIA agents, Navy SEALS, and Green Berets throughout the Vietnam War, making the Types I and II some of the greatest US military dive watches ever made."
