Icon14 Another new Marathon
This time I went with the Navigator with Date.

Really nice.

Has Tritium tubes for lume and pip, date, 12/24H dial, 20min timer on bezel and second timezone - mine's currently set to UTC - on bezel, and it also came with a little clip-on compass. All I need when camping, biking, or any "special ops".

My new addition rounds out my military collection.
Marathon MSAR - Canadian
Marathon Navigator - U.S.
CWC G10 Royal Navy - British



Cheers,
B.

True, 60m is not that great. But on the flip-side, if I'm planning to go deeper than 60m, I'll probably be wearing my 300m MSAR.

Cheers,
Brandon.

Nice! So far I am really enjoying mine. I've got it set for Zulu and I'm in EDT.

As a side note to others that have this watch and are worried about the 60m rating. Mine survived a fall (read jump) from about 50m into Georgian Bay. Arms crossed at the chest. No issues at all. :)

Cheers,
Brandon.
