While Benrus is probably most famous for its defense-contracted GI watches that they produced for troops during the Vietnam war, the brand has an extensive history in watchmaking dating back to the 1920s. They excelled at making a variety of timepieces; including but not limited to chronographs and even precious metal dress watches.

Take this Wrist Alarm watch for example - with a compact but sturdy 34mm case, gloss black dial, luminous handset, and red-tipped alarm indicator hand, this piece has enough flair of its own to stand alone, but has all the quality one would come to expect from watches produced by Benrus with their no-nonsense quality control and military pedigree.

Furthermore, this particular Reference, a 3021, is very similar in design to the time-only model worn by Steve McQueen in the 1968 film 'Bullitt' - known everywhere for its great theme music, style-forward costuming, and of course the greatest car chase in cinema history!

Just like the King of Cool himself, this Benrus exudes just about everything that we love about great vintage timepieces - snatch it up and see what we mean!
