Epic Comeback of Historic Benrus with Type 3X and Victorinox's Maverick Receives a Stylish Overhaul

Published: 14 Sep 2026
2026 witnesses a thriving revival of Benrus with the launch of Type 3X, soon after reintroducing Sky Chief, alongside the dramatic reinvention of Victorinox's Maverick.

Benrus, a horology icon, after reintroducing Sky Chief, continues its notable rebirth journey with the introduction of a new kid on the block, the Type 3X. The Type 3X is more than just a new timepiece; it defines Benrus’s dedication to restoring its heritage and commitment to functionality. The Type 3X was crafted in collaboration with U.S. Special Forces veterans and references the brand’s past military involvement, mirroring the premise that gave birth to the original Type I and Type II.

Released in two distinct styles with an ETA 2893 automatic movement, dive bezel, sapphire crystal, and a Velcro fabric strap, the Type 3X serves as a testament to quality engineering and timeless aesthetics. Enthusiasts have greeted it with open arms, appreciating both color variants and the overall robustness of the timepiece, though some show a preference for its accompanying rubber strap.

Both these releases — the Benrus Type 3X and the Victorinox Maverick — signify instrumental advancements in design and innovation, simultaneously referencing the brands’ rich pasts, while propelling into the future.
