The Marathon Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz is a highly accurate watch built to strict military specifications under MIL-PRF-46374G. Designed for pilots, parachutists, and law enforcement, the Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz is made to withstand the challenges that may face it in a professional or everyday environment.
First developed by Marathon Watch Company in 1986, the Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz was developed as a request by Kelley Air Force Base for a watch which could be used at high altitude, withstand extreme changes in pressure and altitude, as well as be an easy to read timepiece for a pilot.
Marathon fulfilled this with the Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz. Made from a specialized fibershell case that is water resistant to 6 atmospheres (60 meters – 200 feet), sweat and shock resistant, as well as lightweight. Included with the Military Navigator Pilots Quartz is a 20 millimeter width nylon strap made underMIL-S-46383B, Type III.The Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz also uses a special acrylic crystal which is resistant to extreme rapid changes in pressure that would be experienced by a parachutists that would normally cause a watch’s crystal to shatter or come loose from the watch.
The Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz is made in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland to give the highest level of quality and accuracy in manufacturing. Powered by a Swiss made, high torque, 3 jewel ETA F06 quartz movement, the Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz gives you a high degree of accuracy in timekeeping. The ETA F06 movement 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. Replacement battery is a 371 cell.
The Military Navigator Pilot’s Quartz uses self contained Tritium gas tubes to ensure constant visibility in low light situations; therefore, a gas tube is placed on each hour marker, hand, and at the 12 hour marker in the bezel. 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 (glow in the dark) paint which requires an external light source to create a glow.
Marathon - A Brief History

The delivery took longer than I had expected but it was worth the wait. This is an accurate, light weight watch that is very easy to read in the dark. I work as a firefighter/paramedic and this watch holds up well at work. I can hardly feel it on my wrist, It's small enough to not get in the way and is great for low light use. I hope it continues to hold up over the long run.

The watch is pure class. The loom is amazing, is perfect for my wrist, and it looks super smooth. The packaging is super cool and it was delivered right on time.

I've had this watch for about 2 weeks now, and been disappointed so far. Upon receiving the package and it being rolled up in a tiny cardboard box, my suspicions were raised. I've never bought a watch at this price and not received it in a nice box. Upon inspecting the watch the rotating bezel seemed to be made of cheap plastic and the face seems to be plastic as well. I am in the military and thought this would be a great addition to the watches I already have, but I'm beginning to feel mistaken. I've only been in meetings and normal walking around since I've received the watch and I noticed yesterday the face has a scuff on it that doesn't come out. I've bought watches for $30 that never scuffed through a military deployment. Needless to say I am sorely disappointed at the cheap craftsmanship being sold for such a high price.

water will go in even if used in the shower, and will take days to clear up.
