Product Description

ww194004 marathon watch luminox traser hamilton quartz military watch general purpose quartz gpq

  • The General Purpose Quartz is made from a highly durable, impact resistant fibershell case that is water resistant to 3 atmospheres (30 meters - 100 feet), sweat resistant and will not yield to the elements. The fibershell case of the General Purpose Quartz also has a passive matte finish. This matte finish aids in protecting infantry positions as this finish does not provide a reflective surface which would occur on a normal metal case. Fibershell is also an extremely lightweight material, an important factor on the battlefield where every ounce counts.
  • The General Purpose Quartz is made in La Chaux de Fonds Switzerland to provides the highest level of quality and accuracy in manufacturing. Powered by a Swiss made, high torque, 3 jewel ETA F06 Quartz movement, the watch ensures a high degree of accuracy in timekeeping. The ETA F06 is accurate to -0.3/+0.5 seconds per day and also 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.
  • The General Purpose Quartz uses self-contained Tritium gas tubes to ensure constant visibility in low light situations. A gas tube is placed on each hour marker and hand. Tritium tubes are self illuminating gas tubes which contain an isotope of hydrogen, meaning they will not dull down in brightness like normal photo-luminescent paint which requires an external light source to create a glow.

Best watch u can wear.

Marathon - A Brief History

Top reviews

Kimberly Schmidt
Waterproof and the strap dries quickly. So light I forget that I am wearing it, often sleep with it on. Will tell accurate time for months without adjustment. Brilliantly simple.

Francisco Reeves
Best analog watch I've purchased to date. My only regret is that I didn't get the GPM. Oh well, maybe next time.

Jose Crawford
I like this but it's a little thicker than I imagined. maybe the description can include the thickness of the watch. that will be helpful for consumers before making the decision.

Laura Knight
Came quickly and was well packed. I chose the watch because of the tritium feature. Thus easy to see in the dark

Christopher Perez
Best watch ever!

Keith Parks
I've had this watch for almost 10 years and it continues to keep perfect time. Not the best looking watch, but definitely one of the easiest to read. Tritium dial is a huge plus. For those that want a hard wearing timepiece rather than a fashion statement.8/19. I've had the watch for more than 12 years and the dial is definitely less than half as bright as when new. Noe even after replacing the the battery, the watch has finally died. Watch so easy to read, may replace, but am a little disappointed with the longevity
