Marathon GPQ-D Officer’s Date Quartz US Government

Description

Commonly known as Officer’s Field Watch Quartz (OFQ) or Stainless Steel General Purpose Quartz (GPQ-SS). This variant houses a Swiss-made, 3-Jewel high-torque quartz movement with an EOL (end-of-life) indicator for monitoring battery life.

Marathon General Purpose (GP) watches harken back to the original field watches developed by Marathon and issued to Allied forces in 1941. Built to U.S Military Standard MIL-PRF-46374 G with direct lineage to the legendary GG-W-113 Spec of the 1960s.

These straightforward timepieces are designed for officers and infantry, purposefully engineered to handle the demands of ground operations. The watch face features two scales, with a range of 1-12 and 13-24, making it easy to read the time in both 12-hour and 24-hour formats.

The calendar function displays the date, adding to the watch’s practicality and functionality. In low-light conditions, the watch shines with luminous Tritium Gas Tubes.
