## Caption

When we sat down with jeep to create a collaboration piece, we knew that we wanted it to embody the shared military heritage  and #purposebuilt design of both brands.

The 41mm Jeep® Willys combines inspiration from both Jeep and the original Marathon field watch issued in 1941, developed for use by infantry and officers during ground operations.

The dial features a modernized treatment of the original Marathon WWII-issued dial emblazoned with Jeep’s iconic logo, with enhanced visibility in low-light conditions via #MaraGlo illumination on the hour hand, minute hand, and the Arabic hour numerals.

We wrapped the movements — both mechanical and quartz — in a 316L steel case with a parkerized finish, reducing reflectivity and increasing corrosion resistance.

The result? Well, much like the icons that inspired it, speaks for itself.
