Marathon Watch is back in a big way with the latest releases of its next-generation 41mm Navigator, now equipped with the brand’s proprietary CeraShell® case – a lightweight, durable composite material engineered for the harshest of conditions. The new collection debuts this week, marking a significant evolution for one of the most recognizable pilot’s watches on the market today
Two Models Built for Accuracy and Durability
Marathon is known for making a big splash with limited edition pieces, most recently commemorating the Canadian flag’s 60th anniversary. Their latest introduces two distinct 41mm references:
- NAV-D (Type II Quartz) – Pilot’s chronometer with tritium illumination and date function
- NAV (No-Date) – Standard-issue design, same rugged DNA sans the date window
Each model is powered by ETA HeavyDrive quartz movements, guaranteeing precision timing and dependable performance whether in the cockpit or on the wrist.
Material Innovation Meets Tactical Readability
The new CeraShell® case is a combination of biobased plastic and ceramic powder, resulting in a matte black finish that is lightweight and remarkably durable. Key design upgrades include:
- High-contrast white numerals for instant readability
- Aluminum bezel for reduced weight without sacrificing protection
- Enhanced tritium markers for low-light visibility
- Removable spring bars for strap changes
- Durable black nylon strap for all-day wearability
The result is a field-ready timepiece constructed for pilots, naturists, and anyone who places performance above everything else.

The new Marathon Navigator 41mm collection debuts April 14, 2026. Be one of the first out of the gate to own this exceptional timepiece that is guaranteed to enhance any collection.
