Title: Military Issue Marathon 46374E Hand Wound Swiss Circa 1991 Description:
MINT condition. Unused in the original packing material.
Carrying ETA Swiss made 17j shock protected movements and having a
fiberglass composite lightweight and highly durable water resistant
case. This is a non hacking movement which is often used in much more
expensive time pieces. The best part about these watches is the tritium
gas filled tubes which are in the hands and on every indice. You can see
them in the close-up photo and they are the brightest form of
luminescence in the world. Note: After further study it appears
that because of the age of this Mil watch (issued in 91) the Tritium has
decayed somewhat and is not as bright as gas
filled tubes on new watches. Fixed spring bars with the original issue one
piece nylon strap means if one bar breaks you won't lose your watch. One
wind will last about 42 hours. The small paper that comes with each
watch says that these are accurate to about 90 seconds plus or minus per
month which is extraordinary for a mechanical watch. I have put two or
three on the timing machine and sure enough they all run with in 1-3
seconds a day. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the
crown) x 40 mm long x 11 mm thick.
