In 1941, two very different machines left their North American factories and landed in German-occupied North Africa.
The first—the
#Willys Jeep—was a lightweight, 4x4, reconnaissance and scout vehicle that changed the way artillery, troops, and commanders moved across the battlefield.
The second was the
#Marathon officer’s watch, a compact and reliable timepiece that enabled field officers to coordinate troop movements, offensives, and crucial resupply operations.
Today, both are celebrated icons of design and reliability.
The 41mm Jeep x Marathon Officer’s Mechanical watch in stainless steel celebrates those indefatigable machines and the history they forever changed.
