BENRUS was founded in 1921 in New York City and grew its reputation on the production of high quality, affordable watches utilizing Swiss movements. In the 1960s and 1970s, when many U. Based watchmakers were going out of business, the brand pivoted by focusing on the production of robust timepieces for U.

The brand's connection with America's Armed Forces was cemented in 1972, when the BENRUS Type I and Type II were released to meet the new MIL-W-50717 specification, which set a new standard for hardwearing watch design. BENRUS was founded in New York City in 1921, and for decades, the company was well-regarded for its U. Assembled watches built with Swiss movements. In 1964, BENRUS was one of a select few brands to create wristwatches for America's Armed Forces under the MIL-W-3818 specification. It was during this time the middle of the Vietnam War that the Department of Defense discontinued the practice of supplying wristwatches as standard operating equipment for soldiers; only those who most required robust and precise timekeeping would receive a watch to accompany their missions. The watch would have to be able to handle any sort of abuse thrown its way from multiple special forces divisions, including the U. Navy Divers, Army Rangers, Green Berets, and CIA operatives.

Only one watch brand was able to meet the requirements set forth in that document: BENRUS, with the Type I and the Type II.
