BENRUS Type 1
I love the design and story of this watch. So clean and simple with no branding on the dial. Benrus delivered exactly what the US department of defense specified; no more and no less!

Is the case back engraved with all the mil-spec stuff like other military watches?

Love it for all those reasons!
I went for the type 2, just because I like numerals . Pure function. Where an omega feels like jewellery , this feels like engineering .
Gorgeous! Have you taken any lume shots?

I don’t, because the lume isn’t great. But I’ll take one for you.
Well, that might be all I need to know. I've been thinking about a type i, but they don't have a lumeshot on their site, and none of the reviews I've found do either. Not a good sign!
