The brand Marathon might be new to some, but not for Canadians, Americans, and especially military watch fanatics like us. The moniker is better known to watch collectors be among the few that, until today, officially offers no-frills timepieces to the military. Those regimes include the United States and Canadian army since circa 70 years ago.

Marathon JDD NGM Diver Automatic 46mm - Rubber Ref. WW194021SS-0130 |
![]() |
Made in Switzeland, Approved by US Government |
The JDD 46mm NGM Diver Automatic starts with its 316L stainless steel case that measures 46mm wide, with a height of 18mm thick and 54mm lug to lug. Further, the finishing of the case gets a full satin-brushed polishing, removing any source of inessential reflections in this case, while still being immaculately executed. The 120-clicks bezel gets expansive grooves that allow one to rotate it uni-directionally in almost any conditions, especially when your hands get wet. The engraved black anodized bezel stays true to military format, having it in a 60-minute format, with a luminous triangle pip at 12 o’clock. The dimension of the timepiece allows one to feel its sturdiness and being built with all sense of purpose, to be out in the field.
Moving to the side profile, we get beefy squared crown guards that flange the nailed-textured screw-down crown for easy manipulation. Flipping it over, we get the screw-in case-back, allowing it to withstand 300m water-resistant. Right on the case-back, we get the essential government markings and specifications engraved. These provide credentials on the JDD Diver Auto as manufactured following US Government specification. All that said, we assure it is safe to say that both us watch collectors and the US military for use in operations on the land and water.

Tritium gas tubes and MaraGlow™ that glows 24 hours |
Inside its heart lies the traditional Swiss ETA 2836-2 automatic mechanical movement, which operates at 4Hz (28,800bph) and a power reserve of around 42 hours. The use of this movement gets a day-date display whereby the day allows to be set in English or French language. The use of the Swiss ETA movement shows that Marathon emphasizes accuracy under all conditions.
Attached to the JDD NGM Diver Auto is the new 22mm high quality black vulcanized rubber with "Marathon" pattern on the inside. Manufactured in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the rubber strap is crafted from FKM Rubber, meeting the requirements of high-performance military applications. The satin-finished buckle has different facets and well machined with a sharp look. Paired on this premium rubber strap, it matches with the adventure theme, elevating its sportiness and ruggedness as a whole.
