	In addition to the military issue GG-W-113, Benrus also produced a civilian version that is known to collectors as the “Bullit”. The “Bullit”, [[Benrus 3061]], was famously worn by Steve McQueen in the 1968 movie of the same name, gracing the wrist of the San Francisco cop “Frank Bullit” as he raced around the streets in his dark green Ford Mustang GT.
