MARATHON JEEP WILLYS SSGPM – WW194033SS

A Historical Legacy: Jeep x Marathon

Since 1941, the names Jeep and Marathon have been synonymous with robust reliability in military use. Both brands have a long tradition of equipping Allied forces with essential tools and equipment. This historical connection continues today in the Jeep x Marathon collection – a line that consciously bridges the gap between past and present.

Mechanics with Character: The Movement

At the heart of the Jeep Willys SSGPM beats a classic, Swiss-made hand-wound movement – the Sellita Caliber SW210-1. Equipped with 18 jewels, this movement not only offers mechanical precision but also a direct, haptic connection to the watch itself: each manual winding is a conscious ritual. The traditional construction underscores the field watch character of the SSGPM and reflects the original spirit of military timepieces.

Case Construction for Outdoor Use

The watch case is made of durable 316L stainless steel, which has been matted by a special Parkerization – a phosphate coating that additionally provides corrosion protection. With a diameter of 41 mm, a height of 11 mm, and a lug width of 20 mm, the watch has balanced proportions for daily use. A robust, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the water resistance of 5 ATM (60 meters) secures the watch against splashes and rain. The pull/push crown completes the functional design.

Readability in Any Situation: Dial and Hands

The deep black dial is deliberately simple but highly functional: clearly legible Arabic numerals and luminous MaraGlo coating ensure excellent readability – even in low light conditions or in the dark. The hour and minute hands have also been provided with MaraGlo, so that the time can be precisely read at any time. The design echoes field watches of past decades and combines nostalgia with modern functionality.

Equipped for Any Terrain: The Strap

The Jeep Willys SSGPM comes with a high-quality leather strap set, consisting of three parts. The pin buckle is also made of 316L stainless steel, which gives the strap high durability. Thanks to the modular system, the watch can be easily adapted – whether for everyday wear, off-road use, or as a stylish statement in an urban environment.

A Watch with Soul: The Willys SSGPM

The Jeep Willys SSGPM is more than just a timepiece. It is a tribute to two legends: the original Marathon field watch from World War II and the iconic Willys Jeep model that was found on almost every Allied battlefield. Developed for infantry and officers, this watch reinterprets the proven virtues of function, reliability, and craftsmanship. Its mechanical heart beats in rhythm with history – and in the tradition of uncompromising quality.
