In the 1960s, BENRUS introduced the original Series #3061, a civilian interpretation of the rugged DTU-2AP military field watch. It was simple, reliable, and quietly stylish, qualities that helped it earn a place in both watch history and popular culture. Decades later, its story continues with the 3061 GT, a bold reissue that blends vintage spirit with cinematic flair, carrying forward the legacy of an icon while adding a fresh twist.
The 2025 3061 GT channels Steve McQueen’s effortless cool, drawing direct inspiration from the film Bullitt. Its striking green California dial pays homage to San Francisco’s street grid and matches the legendary Mustang fastback’s paint, while speedometer-style indexes add a dynamic, automotive edge. The watch is housed in a 39.5 mm stainless steel case with a vertically brushed mid-case, polished bezel, and screw-down crown. At just 9.95 mm thick with a 47 mm lug-to-lug span, it wears sleek and modern. A double-domed sapphire crystal with dual anti-reflective coating ensures crisp legibility, while BW G9 Super-LumiNova brightens the hands and markers. Inside, the Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement delivers a 42-hour power reserve and date function, fully visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback.
Finishing the look is a bold orange leather strap with a classic pin buckle, adding a pop of color and character. Water-resistant to 10 ATM, the 3061 GT is ready for both city streets and weekend escapes. Whether you’re a fan of classic cars, iconic cinema, or finely executed reissues, this watch is built to measure time and designed to honor a legacy.
