WHAT WE LOVE:
The Marathon Steel Navigator with Date is a refined evolution of a military classic. First developed in 1986 in collaboration with Kelly Air Force Base, the Navigator was designed to serve pilots and parachutists with uncompromising performance in the air and on the ground. The SSNAV-D elevates this legacy with a robust redesign and modern enhancements, including a brushed parkerized finish on its 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case for added corrosion resistance and a stealthy aesthetic.
Comfort is just as important as durability, and the improved lug tapering ensures the watch wears naturally on the wrist for extended periods, whether you’re on a mission or on the move. A key feature is the raised bi-directional 12-hour GMT bezel, designed for easy operation with flight gloves and enhanced with inset-painted indices for optimal legibility. The inclusion of a date complication marks a milestone for the Steel Navigator line, adding everyday practicality to this purpose-built tool.
The crystal is made from synthetic sapphire, providing exceptional scratch resistance and the durability required for use at altitudes exceeding 35,000 feet. Self-illuminating tritium gas tubes on the hour markers and hands offer consistent low-light readability without relying on external light sources, ensuring visibility no matter the environment or time of day.
Built to withstand extreme pressure, impact and temperature shifts, the SSNAV-D is water resistant to 100 meters and engineered to perform under the most demanding operational conditions. Whether you're a pilot, skydiver, or field operator, this is a watch that delivers strength, precision and reliability in a compact and modernized format.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
At the heart of the SSNAV-D is the Swiss-made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement. Engineered for extreme accuracy, it delivers a remarkable precision of ±10 seconds per year, far surpassing standard quartz watches. The movement features a date display, dual-scale 12 and 24-hour timekeeping, and includes three jewels to reduce friction and enhance longevity. The HeavyDrive and PreciDrive technologies ensure the watch remains steady even under impact or rapid movements, offering unmatched reliability in any environment.
