Navigator 41mm NAV Standard-Issue, Tritium Pilot's Quartz, Type II CeraShell Case (WW194001BK-0801)
- Description
The Marathon Pilot’s Navigator was developed in partnership with Kelly Air Force Base in 1986. The objective then remains today: a pilot’s watch with uncompromising quartz accuracy—capable of withstanding extreme altitude changes.
The case of the newly-issued 41mm NAV is constructed with CeraShell®—Marathon’s proprietary case construction made up of bio-sourced plastic and ceramic powder, with an aluminum bezel.
The CeraShell version of the Navigator has been enhanced with:
- Removable spring bars
- Radial-mounted tritium tube insert, affixed into the bezel pip (improved visibility and protection)
- An aluminum bezel to deliver a more tactile rotation
This evolution of the Navigator lightens the mission load while upholding the durability and reliability Navigators are known for.
Technical Spec
PURPOSE-BUILT FOR ANY TERRAIN
With the ETA F06.115 HeavyDrive Quartz movement, the 41mm Navigator (NAV) stands out with unmatched precision, featuring accuracy of ± 10s/year. The NAVis is constructed with bio-sourced plastic and ceramic powder with a screw-down crown and synthetic sapphire crystal, making it operational even when submerged to 6ATM (60m/197ft).
The refreshed case design features enhanced lug tapering, providing a comfortable fit making the NAV ideal for all-day wear. The increased height of the 12HR aluminum GMT bezel is specially designed to provide improved grip, allowing pilots to easily handle the bi-directional rotation while wearing flight gloves. The bezel also features inset-painted indices, enhancing the legibility of the markings.
Self-contained tritium gas tubes on the hour markers, the minute/hour hands, and the bezel pip ensure constant visibility in low-light environments. Tritium tubes are self-illuminating, containing an isotope of hydrogen that won't dull down over time like photoluminescent paint, meaning the watch will remain fully legible at all hours.
Protecting the dial of the NAV is a highly durable sapphire crystal. This allows the watch to withstand extreme changes in air pressure – necessary for the watch’s use by military pilots at altitudes of over 35,000ft – while also providing scratch resistance and pristine clarity.
The 41mm NAV is Swiss-made and Canadian-designed for premium quality and craftsmanship.
