I was able to check them out at the Windup Watch Fair. The Marathon folks were incredibly nice. They actually mentioned that they were excited to hang out with Marc at dinner that evening. ...Hopefully they discussed another Marathon x Islander colab! 🙏😁

Jeep owner here. I have a Cherokee Trailhawk. I absolutely love it. Now the question is, do I need the watch.

Wow, that Tritium lume with the mariglow lume looks amazing.

If i owned a Jeep this watch would be a must! Lockers, lift, winch and a Jeep watch.

We’re going through a collab renaissance right now and it’s kinda exciting to see certain brands you’d never think would collaborate on a watch, do so. Great stuff!

Very very cool. A bit outside my price range but Marathon / Long Island Watch should have zero problem selling it. Thanks for showing it to us!

Jeep...Marathon, Long Island Watch. Triple threat of greatness. Currently driving a Grand Cherokee, former owner of a Wrangler, WJ and XJ.

As a Wrangler owner this caught my eye, but as a life-long Seiko wearer, I don't think I want to spend quite that much on this watch, tempting as it may be. At a cheaper price point maybe... I'd also want to color match the strap to my blue Jeep :-)

Love this 👋

Nice watches. I have always been a fan of Jeep vehicles, especially the ww2 models. And ok Mark are you just taunting us the Bethpage Amerigraph clock behind you? Lol

I didn't know you made a bracelet for the GSAR/TSAR! I wanted a bracelet for mine, but didn't like the factory Marathon clasp. Guess I'll add that with the bead blasted SNK strap you announced last week.

I already own a GSAR and tend to avoid branding where possible, but I'm glad Marathon is doing stuff like this. I've purchased their old composite and recent steel navigators as well, and I hope this does well for them, even if it's not for me.

I think this will be good for them.

Some time ago I saw many Smith & Wesson watches, some were interesting

Interesting that MSAR 36 mm is so often returned. I have an arctic one I think it wears more like 37 even 38 since the bezel hangs slightly over the case. Plus the crown and guards really adds to the width. I can see people thinking the officers watch is small but in both instances once you get used to wearing a 36mm it really compliments the wrist not overpowers it

When are they going to put a ceramic bezel as an option? Maybe Marc can finally convince them.

30 atm? Does it have a screwdown crown? The standard automatic is 10 atm waterproof. Cheers, Frank

I almost like it a lot, but red and green is a pet peeve of mine. The combination bears a strong Christmas or Red Army connotation, unless that's the intended association designers usually try to avoid that color combination. I love that the dial is emulating a traditional "tachometer" look and I get the "red line" detail, but in this instance yellow might have been a better accenting color instead of red; US Military ammo boxes use either yellow or white stencil on OD green cans, yellow print on OD green registers strongly as US Military.

Not my piece of cake, i love my Arctic JDD a lot - but i'd never ever buy a Marathon that has a different brand, like from a car brand printed on.. but maybe there are some enthusiastic Jeep owners that always wanted a tactical watch and now see the opportunity - for me, never ever...

I like the idea but if I did not own a Jeep, I would feel weird wearing a Jeep branded watch Also $1350, yikes.

Sorry!

You lost me at $1500. I’m not buying a watch that says Jeep on it for that much. I have a Jeep though and I know they will sell a few.

Islander watches are brilliant (I own three). Marathon watches are brilliant. Jeep is probably the most unreliable, worst quality control, and lowest rated car brand in the world (next to Fiat). Maybe when Jeeps were made during the second world war they were reliable. I can't believe Marathon wants to be associated with such a crappy automative brand. I owned two Cherokees. Never again.

Won’t wear anything that says jeep on it. Bad mistake. Exudes cheapness and unreliability
