The BENRUS DTU Shield is a salute to heritage and heroism, unveiled fittingly on Veterans Day 2025. Drawing direct lineage from the DTU-2A/P field watch designed for the U.S. military in 1964, the new model revives the rugged elegance that defined an era of purpose-built timepieces. Created to meet strict military specifications, the DTU became an icon among service members for its clarity, reliability, and utilitarian beauty. A tool watch embodied the courage and discipline of those who wore it.  The BENRUS DTU Shield — a modern revival of the legendary 1964 field watch — fuses military precision with contemporary craftsmanship, honoring generations of service and strength. In its modern form, the DTU Shield retains the original’s spirit while embracing refined materials and contemporary engineering. The 38mm sandblasted 316L stainless-steel case, silver dial, and Old Radium Super-LumiNova details ensure enduring legibility, while the Swiss ETA 2892 automatic movement brings precision worthy of its legacy. It’s more than a reissue—it’s a resurrection of purpose, blending history and performance for those who still live by the virtues of reliability and resolve.  With its sandblasted steel case, luminous markers, and Swiss automatic movement, the DTU Shield stands as both a tribute to veterans and a testament to timeless design built for the field and beyond. BENRUS, founded in New York in 1921 by the Lazrus brothers, continues its mission of crafting watches “For the Brave, By the Brave.” The DTU Shield joins the DTU UB and DTU Phantom as part of the brand’s revitalized military-inspired collection—a cohesive line that celebrates both design integrity and American grit.
