Marathon Arctic Edition Large Diver's Automatic

Since 1939, Canada-based Marathon Watch has been making timepieces for the North American market and since 1941 has been supplying them to the U.S. armed forces. (Today, the company is the sole supplier.) Now manufactured by the fourth generation of the founding family, Marathon watches --- designed in Canada, manufactured in Switzerland ---have become well regarded for their military durability and mission-ready precision. The Arctic Edition of the brand's Divers Automatic model features a bright white dial with both 12-hour and 24-hour (military time) scales; hands and indexes with Tritium H3 micro-gas tubes, for a brighter and more lasting nighttime glow than dials that use the more common Super-LumiNova; and a contrasting red central seconds hand. The unidirectional dive-scale bezel is also highly readable in the dark, with Maraglo paint illuminating its 12 o\'clock orientation triangle, and the Swiss-made automatic Sellita SW200-1 does its duty inside the steel case.
