Marathon - Steel Navigator Arctic with Date 41mm

WHAT WE LOVE:

The Marathon Steel Navigator Arctic with Date brings a bold visual update to the iconic Navigator series, combining field-tested functionality with a high contrast white dial designed for maximum visibility in bright and snowy conditions. Retaining all the rugged features of the standard SSNAV-D, this Arctic edition continues the legacy of the original 1986 Navigator developed with Kelly Air Force Base, now enhanced for modern pilots, parachutists, and tactical professionals.

The 41mm case is crafted from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel, finished in a brushed parkerized coating for added durability and a low-reflection surface. The refined case geometry includes enhanced lug tapering, offering a more ergonomic fit for long wear in the field or cockpit. The increased grip on the bi-directional 12-hour GMT bezel allows for intuitive operation, even with gloves on, while the crisp inset-painted indices improve legibility during mission timing or time zone tracking.

The white dial sets this model apart, improving contrast for both day and night readability. Self-contained tritium gas tubes on the hands and hour markers provide constant, long-lasting illumination, unaffected by environmental lighting or aging. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial and maintains clarity under rapid pressure changes, crucial for aviation and high-altitude operations.

Engineered to perform in extreme environments, the SSNAV-D Arctic is water resistant to 100 meters and built to operate reliably at altitudes over 35,000 feet. It blends mission-ready functionality with a striking Arctic aesthetic, making it equally suited to snowy terrain, cockpit duty, or everyday wear.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

The Arctic Navigator is powered by the Swiss ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, delivering unparalleled accuracy with a deviation of just ±10 seconds per year. This movement includes a date function, a dual-scale 12 and 24 hour layout, and three jewels for enhanced mechanical efficiency. HeavyDrive technology stabilizes the movement during impacts, while PreciDrive ensures timekeeping remains exact even in fluctuating temperatures. Built for precision and dependability, it’s a movement that matches the toughness of the watch itself.
