Limited Original Military Watch Marathon Navigator, Domed Crystal, 2nd Timezone — NEW
Whoa……recently discovered: an original Marathon Navigator watch with domed Lexan crystal! Exclusive here at Windy City Watch Collector!
During a trip to the Marathon factory in April of this year, Mitchell Wein, President, of Marathon Watch, and I discovered a small cache of original Navigator cases in the factory warehouse in the basement ….the classic model with the integrated domed Lexan crystal. These are the same type of Navigator watches issued to pilots during the early 2000s.
The original cases were used with new movements and dials and hand-assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds. These are essentially new production and come with Marathon’s 2-year warranty.
As some of you may know, the navigator class of wristwatches was developed in conjunction with Kelly Air Force Base in 1986, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of timekeeping technology.
Featuring a high-torque movement and an EOL (end-of-life) indicator, the Navigator is more than just a mere accessory. It is a vital tool for keeping track of time, ensuring that no moment is wasted, and every second is utilized to its fullest potential. With its tritium tubes on the hour markers and hands, legibility is guaranteed in all lighting conditions, and the 12-hour bi-directional bezel ensures precise timekeeping no matter where your journey takes you.
The Navigator’s 41mm high-impact composite fiber shell case is engineered to withstand even the harshest environments, making it a trusted companion for adventurers and professionals alike. Every detail of this timepiece has been meticulously crafted with precision and purpose, reflecting the unwavering commitment to quality and excellence that defines its legacy.
These limited original Navigators are exclusively being offered here by us! Once this small run is sold, there will be no more.
The watch measures 42x46mm (not including the crown) with a 20mm lug width (strap size).

All the Navigator Pilot watches are highly recommended — They make a great, distinctive everyday timekeeper at a nice price!
