MARATHON 41mm Desert Tan Pilot Navigator – WW194001DT

A Reinterpretation of Military Tradition

With this watch, Marathon brings back a revised version of the legendary Steel Navigator – a model originally developed in 1986 in collaboration with the Kelly Air Force Base. This robust tool watch is a reliable companion for extreme missions and was specially designed to meet the demands of pilots and military personnel. The new edition stays true to the original's DNA, combining it with state-of-the-art technology and improved wearing comfort.

Precision from Switzerland

Inside, a particularly high-torque quartz movement, manufactured in Switzerland by the renowned ETA SA Manufacture Horlogère Suisse, is at work. The built-in ETA F06.115 caliber with HeavyDrive technology ensures maximum rate stability and features three jewels. This type of movement is designed for durability and resilience – ideal for a watch that must withstand challenging conditions.

Robustness in Every Respect

The case is made of a high-impact composite fiber shell, which is not only lightweight but also particularly resilient. With a water resistance of 6 ATM (equivalent to 60 meters), the watch is also suitable for wet environments. The bidirectional rotating bezel allows for precise time measurements, while the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ensures that the dial remains easily legible at all times. The screw-down crown integrates securely into the case – another detail that emphasizes its everyday suitability.

Compact, Functional Format

With a diameter of 41 mm, a lug-to-lug length of 44 mm, and a height of only 11 mm, the watch wears comfortably and discreetly without sacrificing presence on the wrist. The lug width of 20 mm allows for the use of various straps – a plus for those who like it versatile.

Perfect Legibility Day and Night

The black dial features a 24-hour scale, allowing for military time display at a glance. Particularly noteworthy is the luminosity: Both the hour markers and the hour and minute hands are equipped with self-illuminating tritium tubes. These require no external light source and ensure permanent legibility – a crucial advantage in dark or tactical environments.

Strap of Choice – For Every Situation

Various strap options are available for optimal wearing comfort. Whether the ballistic nylon strap for extreme demands or the Marathon Nylon DEFSTAN manufactured to military standards – both variants are made for the highest loads. The straps are secured by a robust pin buckle made of 316L stainless steel and can be quickly and easily interchanged.

Reliability for Generations

Since 1941, Marathon has been manufacturing timepieces for the Allied Forces – a tradition that continues to this day. The family business is now run by the fourth generation. Marathon combines uncompromising military functionality with Swiss engineering. Every watch undergoes strict quality controls and meets the highest requirements for precision, durability, and resilience.

Quality with Responsibility

Behind every Marathon product lies a high degree of responsibility and craftsmanship. Not only the watch itself but also customer support is of excellent quality. From development and manufacturing to service – Marathon strives to offer wearers not just a watch, but a well-designed instrument that can be relied upon in any situation.
