Issued in June of 1969, this Vietnam-era Benrus is a rare variant with a lumed 12 o-clock. This was designed for added legibility in high stress situations and although subtle, adds character to its overall beauty. This example remains in excellent vintage condition with a nicely preserved dial/hands. The signature Benrus dimpled crown is also correct. We love the history these pieces represent and today remain a fantastic relative value compared to other issued watches. The signature and lightweight military green plastic cases are also a unique departure from most of the parkerized steel or black mil watches we come across. If you've been looking for a fun and affordable vintage piece this could be just the ticket!
