Another collab!
Omega X Swatch definitely opened the ball for collabs.
I just made a post about Canadian watch brands and here we are with Marathon doing a collab with it's neighbor Islander watches. Apparently it's Marathon's first collab with another watch brand.
Here's the specs:
Movement ETA 3 Jewel High-Torque Quartz F06
Case Fibershell, 41mm x 10.6mm. 47.5mm lug to lug
Back Solid caseback with battery hatch
Crystal Flat sapphire
Band Black Ballistic Nylon, 20mm
Water Resistant 60 meters
Weight 47 grams
All this for 450$, kinda steep no?

Oh wow this got to be good Long Island with Marathon it’s respectable and for 450 it’s way better specs than the Swatch collaborations. Love to see the review on that.
I'm digging it
Radioactive symbol is throwing me off.
It’s more or less line with typical Marathon prices.
I have the same watch with the black dial, and I think I'd have preferred this white dial that I eventually got when I bought my GSAR. A pretty predictable result for a collab, since marathon has been adding white dial options steadily to their range for a while, but I wouldn't really expect them to break any molds here. They're about as no-nonsense on the design front as it's possible to get. I'd be more tempted to buy this if it was the steel nav, since I already have a fiber shell nav. Definitely not a mass market product, but no marathon is. I think this is a fine collab.
Can’t wait to see this. Then the smaller case version hopefully
Very cool collaboration. I appreciate the (relatively) compact lug-to-lug, but I think I’m sized out of this one by preference if nothing else. Looks great though, awesome collab!

Yeah that's true but $450 for a quartz watch is a lot, we're 50$ away from getting a solid watch with Miyota 9015.

It's a very cool piece and love the white dial contrast!

Blancpain inspired maybe?

I agree, a fine collab that looks good but nothing groundbreaking, although they do open up to a new market which is all the long island/seiko clientele which could turn out very well for them

ya very surprising which I like!

But the movements of the last Swatch collab are plastic. Your right 450 is kind of steep for quartz 60m of water resistance I’ll pass.
