Top Quality Features

The dial is understated and easy to read, and features both a 12- and 24-hour scale. Each hour marker is highlighted with an inset tritium tube that will glow vibrantly in the dark without any exposure to light, courtesy of the radioactive gas within. Encompassing the dial, you’ll find a bi-directional 12-hour bezel that can be used to count hours or track a different time zone.

Inside the case, there is ETA’s F06 high torque quartz movement with three jewels which adds a tangible sense of quality to proceedings and makes the sub-$300 price tag all the more remarkable. This reliable and uncompromising movement will tick for 5+ years before needing a battery swap, which makes it a superb grab-and-go watch for your line up. It boasts a standard hour/minute/second hand set with a date option and on the date model, you’ll discover a few extra features such as a red-tipped seconds hand the Marathon name adorning the dial.
