Summary
|
This is a modern US government issue military watch, made in approximately 2010. It is an outstanding value for the money and provides a great deal of quality and strength in its design. It includes Tritium markers on its dial meaning that this dial is visible day-and-night regardless of whether the watch saw the sun. This is crucial for military use. This watch model, made by Marathon Watch Company, a small Swiss watch company in existence for many years, was supplied to the US government. Some may be surprised to learn that the US Government, and others around the world, still favor mechanical watches over quartz battery driven watches for mission critical applications.

ClockSavant Testing, Certification, and Performance Measurement
All the watches we sell go through a comprehensive series of ClockSavant-developed functional, stability, and performance tests and are only approved for sale if they meet or exceed the criteria we have established. Performance measurements for this watch are provided below. See the Support page of our website for an explanation of watch performance measurements and guidance on interpretation. The watch performance values provided do not necessarily reflect the accuracy you will experience based on your unique watch wearing habits. You may experience a gain or loss by as much as approximately 1 minute per day with vintage watches.
Legend: Rate, Amplitude (Amp), and Beat Error (BE) are provided for Dial-Up (CH) and Dial-Down (FH) positions. Averages (Avg) are also provided. These represent the average performance of the watch across all 6 traditionally measured watch positions which, in addition to dial-up and dial-down, are the vertical positions of Crown-Up, Crown-Down, Crown-Left, and Crown-Right. Rate is expressed in seconds gained or lost during a 24 hour period. Amplitude is in degrees. Beat Error is in milliseconds. Lift Angle used in measurement is unique to the particular watch calibre.
