Two names that went to war together in 1941 come together again on the Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR WW194007SS-4101. Part of the Jeep x Marathon series, this 41mm Swiss quartz dive watch pairs a black dial with an OD green rubber strap and carries the spirit of both brands' long history of supplying Allied forces.

The Jeep connection is not a marketing afterthought. Marathon received its first military order from the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1941 and supplied field watches through the Second World War, while Jeep was building vehicles for the same Allied forces. The Jeep x Marathon series commemorates that shared heritage, and a tritium dive watch built for search and rescue fits it naturally. Olive drab green has been the color of military vehicles and gear for generations, so the strap ties the watch directly to that story.

Underneath the collaboration is a genuine Tritium Search and Rescue diver. Tritium tubes and MaraGlo illumination keep it legible in the dark, the sapphire crystal handles trail grit, and the 300-meter rating means creek crossings, mud and rain are nothing to worry about. It is a watch built for the same kind of owner who airs down the tires and keeps going.
