This was the Benrus Military Field Watch.įrom there, the Benrus Military Field Watch was issued to one of thousands of American soldiers - journeying over 8,500 miles to the jungles of Vietnam, and then at some point, returning safely to the shores of North America. It was subsequently delivered to the United States Army as part of the MIL-W-3818 contract for a standard military issue field watch. Over a half-century ago, a plain but purpose-built wrist watch came out of final assembly at the New York Hippodrome building on 6th Avenue between West 43rd and 44th Streets. However, whereas the modern-day field watch is worn primarily for fashion, the aesthetic was born out of a need for an efficient and reliable tool. Beloved for its clean utilitarian aesthetic, the field watch is one of the most iconic styles of watch produced today and it’s available in a dizzying array of variations from many watch brands, large and small.
