Description: NEW — Automatic Marathon Steel Navigator Date (SSNAV-D Auto)Marathon again shows why they are indeed “Best in the Long Run”. As an industry first, Windy City Watch Collector is thrilled to officially announce the launch of the Marathon Automatic Steel Navigator Date (SSNAV-D Auto).Case Size: 41mmCase Material: 316L Stainless SteelMovement: Marathon modified 26 Jewel SW200 movementLaunch Date: March 1, 2024 <– The original steel navigator was produced in the 1980s and features a dial and hand set with tritium pigmented indices. In 1990, the US Government began requiring that radioactive tritium be encapsulated within small glass tubes for safety as well as the fact that doing so provided a self-illuminating light source. The resulting steel Navigator watch was issued to US Military pilots and Navigators during the first Gulf War era. These watches featured a Rhonda movement which has now been discontinued. In 1999, a small batch of steel Navigators was reissued with an improved movement and orange tritium marker at the 12 position. These can be easily identified with a small crown as well. Windy City Watch Collector marketed and sold these here. We recommended them to Military Watch Collectors. Those steel Navigator reissue watches are now collectible and have appreciated quite a bit in value. Jump ahead 24 years and the new Marathon Steel Navigator date quartz model was released and quickly became one of Marathon's most popular models. The new Marathon Automatic Steel Navigator Date’s design is very much like the original in appearance by quick glance. When examined closely, there are some significant enhancements….. Firstly, this is an automatic watch powered by Marathon's modified 26 Jewel Sellita SW200 movement. The screw caseback also exhibits brand-new markings, displaying the required spec and model information plus a nod to the North with the inclusion of the Canadian Maple Leaf. There is also a place at the lower part of the back for custom engraving if desired. This is a super timepiece! Supplys are extremely limited as there are manufacturting bottlenecks for some of the components. If we sell out of this initial supply, we will revise the list to have a longer handling time. Orders will be filled on a first come basis.
