MARATHON GPQ Field Wrist Watch

The Marathon General Purpose Quartz in Stainless Steel is a revival of the vintage style of the Marathon GG-W-113 field watch, which was used throughout the 1980s by the US Army. Manufactured from 316L surgical grade stainless steel with a satinized graphite grey, non-reflective, finish, this timepiece offers a modern interpretation of the classic design.

Featuring a high torque quartz ETA FØ6 Movement, the watch provides accurate timekeeping with a range of -0.3/+0.5 seconds per day. The scale quantity ranges from 1 to 12, with an additional 13-24 range. To assist in low light viewing, the dial utilizes tritium gas tubes for the hour indices as well as the hour and minute hands. Tritium is a self-illuminating gas that will provide a continuous 24/7 glow without the need for recharging.

The watch is equipped with a deployment clasp, which offers a secure and easy-to-use closure mechanism. The lug width is 16mm, ensuring a comfortable and customizable fit. The glass lens is made from scratch-resistant sapphire crystals, providing ultimate durability and clarity of dial viewing - essential features for military personnel.

Inspired by the iconic Marathon GG-W-113 field watch, this stainless steel timepiece is the COLLOQUIAL NAME: General Purpose Quartz (GPQ). It is manufactured in Switzerland, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail.

One of the standout features of the Marathon General Purpose Quartz is the inclusion of an End of Life (EOL) indicator. This feature will advance the seconds hand once every 4 seconds when the battery is low, informing the wearer that a battery change is needed.

The combination of the high-quality materials, accurate timekeeping, and thoughtful design features make the Marathon General Purpose Quartz in Stainless Steel a versatile and reliable timepiece. Whether for everyday use or in demanding military or tactical environments, this watch is built to withstand the test of time and provide dependable performance.
