## Caption

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.
