A watch and a compass have been the two essentials of land navigation for generations. This listing, reference WW194015SS-0101+Compass, brings them together: the Marathon Officer's SSGPQ-D, a 36mm steel Swiss quartz field watch with date, paired with a Marathon compass.

The watch is the steel member of Marathon's General Purpose family, a line that descends from the field watches Marathon supplied to Allied forces beginning in 1941. Its 316L stainless case measures 36mm and stays slim at 11mm, rated to 5 ATM. The black dial carries no government markings and includes 12- and 24-hour scales, helpful for coordinating times in military format, plus a date window and tritium tubes that glow through the night without charging.

A Swiss ETA F06.115 HeavyDrive quartz movement keeps accurate time and features an end-of-life indicator, so you know when the battery needs attention before heading out. With sapphire crystal over the dial and a black one-piece nylon strap in 10-inch length, the SSGPQ-D is a sturdy, low-maintenance companion. Bundled with the compass, it makes an especially good gift for a hiker, hunter, scout leader or new recruit.
