All about the MARATHON 36mm OFFICER'S MECHANICAL (GPM) WW194003SS-0101
Classic Design for Everyday Use
The Marathon Officer's Watch combines traditional watchmaking with modern functionality, presenting itself as a compact, robust companion for everyday life. With a case diameter of 36 mm, a height of 11 mm, and a lug width of 16 mm, this watch offers an ideal size for comfortable wear – whether in a professional environment, while traveling, or in daily life. Its balanced proportions make it sit comfortably on the wrist without being bulky.
Mechanical Heart with Military Precision
Behind its unassuming exterior works the reliable ETA 2801 hand-wound movement, which, with its 18 jewels, ensures precise timekeeping and a long service life. The watch is known by various names, including Officer's Field Watch Mechanical (OFM) or General Purpose Mechanical in Stainless Steel (GPM-SS). The display includes two scales ranging from 1–12 and 13–24, allowing for easy reading of both standard and military time – a useful feature for professional and tactical applications.
Robust Features for Any Environment
Thanks to its Tritium gas tubes, the watch offers constant luminosity – without any external light source. This technology guarantees optimal readability even in complete darkness and is significantly superior to photoluminescent paint in its durability. The dial surface is protected by durable sapphire crystal, known for its high scratch resistance and longevity.
Durable and Functional
The case is made of high-quality 316L stainless steel and has a parkerized finish, which gives the watch a matte, subtle look while providing additional scratch and corrosion resistance. The pressure-sealed crown contributes to water resistance up to 5 ATM and reliably protects the watch's interior from moisture – sufficient for rain showers or everyday contact with water. A rotating bezel was deliberately omitted to preserve the simple, functional design.
A Watch with Character
The Officer's Watch is a timepiece characterized by its military origin, mechanical precision, and durable construction. It is designed for those who seek a minimalist, reliable, and authentic watch that balances traditional craftsmanship with functional robustness – both in civilian everyday life and under challenging conditions.

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No answer received?
You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.
My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
