The Marathon Military Navigator Pilots was first developed in 1986. It was made as a request by Kelley Air Force Base for a watch which could be used in situations a pilot or parachutist would encounter. Marathon fulfilled this request with the Navigator Pilots Quartz. Made from a special fibershell case that is water resistant to 6 ATM, sweat and shock resistant, as well as lightweight. Included with the Military Navigator Pilots Quartz is a 20-millimeter width nylon strap made under MIL-S-46383B, Type III. The watch uses an acrylic crystal resistant to rapid changes in pressure that would otherwise cause a watch’s crystal to shatter.

The Navigator Pilot’s Quartz is made in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. Powered by a Swiss made, high torque, 3 jewel ETA F06 Quartz movement,  the Navigator Pilots Quartz guarantees you a high degree of accuracy in timekeeping. The ETA F06 is accurate to -0.3/+0.5 seconds per day and includes an End of Life (EOL) indicator. The Navigator Pilots Quartz uses self-contained Tritium gas tubes to ensure constant visibility in low light situations.  A tube is located on each hour marker, each hand, and at the 12-hour marker in the bezel. Tritium tubes are self-illuminating gas tubes which contain an isotope of hydrogen that glows consistently for years without the need to pre-glow in the light.

The Navigator Pilots Quartz combines military durability with Swiss craftsmanship in a timepiece that will satisfy you for years.
