Benrus Type I Sterile for the US NAVY.
Just one shot of this watch which I used to own. 
Sterile, because there was not writing on the dial NOR on the case back.
A pedestrian movement ( ETA ) but a strong looking military watch. A last detail, this is one of these few watches which uses Promethium as a luminous material for its hands and indices. The other watch I know using the same material is... The Blancpain Tornek Rayville.
Best,

Long drawn to the Type I . . .

but I prefer your NSA sterile. I know it is not as warm as this vintage but IMHO it has more character
