PURPOSE-BUILT FOR ANY TERRAIN
Since 1941, the Jeep brand and Marathon have shared a mutual history of authentic military supply, manufacturing some of the most reliable tools on the market for use by Allied forces. This tradition is commemorated with the Jeep x Marathon Series.
The collaborative Jeep x Marathon timepieces embody the resilient spirit of both companies and reflect upon their shared military roots and functional designs. The series draws inspiration from two of Jeep's iconic vehicles, the Willys MB - The Jeep brand first automobile used by the U.S. in World War II - and the modern Wrangler Rubicon. The new collection stands as a testament to an ethos of utilitarian design and pays homage to each brand's origins.
The 41mm Jeep® Willys Officer's Quartz watch takes inspiration from both Jeep and the original Marathon field watch issued in 1941, developed for use by infantry and officers during ground operations.
Marathon General Purpose (GP) watches harken back to the original field watches developed by Marathon and issued to Allied forces in 1941. Built to U.S Military Standard MIL-PRF-46374 G with direct lineage to the legendary GG-W-113 Spec of the 1960s. These straightforward timepieces are designed for officers and infantry, purposefully engineered to handle the demands of ground operations.
The case is made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel with a sand-blasted graphite grey, non-reflective parkerized finish and has a water resistance of 5 ATM or 50 meters. The glass lens is made from sapphire crystal to provide ultimate scratch resistance, overall durability, and clarity of dial viewing, all essential factors for military personnel.
The 41mm Jeep® Willys Officer's Quartz features a modernized treatment of the original Marathon WWII-issued dial. In this new iteration, the classic dial has received updates such as type treatments inspired by the Jeep Wrangler 1941 Limited Edition, a fresh black dial, and fully-lumed Aged-Radium colour numerals.
Enhanced visibility in low-light conditions is guaranteed by MaraGlo illumination on the hour hand, minute hand and the Arabic hour numerals.
This timepiece is handmade in La Chaux de Fonds Switzerland to guarantee the highest level of quality and accuracy in manufacturing. Inside is a Swiss made, high torque, 3 jewel ETA F06 Quartz movement. The ETA F06 is accurate to -0.3/+0.5 seconds per day and includes an End of Life (EOL) indicator that will advance the seconds hand once every 4 seconds to inform you that a battery change is needed, guaranteeing a very reliable and accurate timekeeping experience.
Each watch comes paired with a new 3-Piece Leather Strap Kit made from Crazy Horse leather.
