Marathon Watch Launches Limited-Edition “Blue Yonder” Timepiece Inspired by Military Aviation
TORONTO — Canadian-founded watchmaker Marathon Watch is reaching new heights with the debut of the Blue Yonder, a striking limited-edition version of its iconic Steel Navigator timepiece.
Unveiled today and limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, the Blue Yonder is a bold 41mm quartz watch designed with precision, durability, and aviation-inspired style. Priced at $1,200 USD, it’s now available exclusively through MarathonWatch.com.
The Blue Yonder builds upon the rugged, military-tested DNA of the Steel Navigator with Date (SSNAV-D). It introduces a fresh visual identity with its deep navy-blue bezel, matching FKM rubber strap, and blue Type I dial—a first for a Marathon steel bezel, offering a cohesive and modern take on a watch designed for mission-ready environments.
“The Blue Yonder was inspired by the Air Force and the skies they protect. The name comes from the opening line in the official U.S. Air Force song,” said Mitchell Wein, President of Marathon Watch. “It puts a contemporary twist on our Steel Navigator lineup that collectors will instantly recognize and appreciate.”
Hand-assembled in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, the Blue Yonder is powered by a FO6.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive Quartz movement and housed in a 316L surgical-grade stainless steel case with a parkerized anti-glare finish. Its features include a screw-down crown, sapphire crystal, 12-hour rotating bezel, self-illuminating tritium gas tubes, and 100m water resistance, making it suitable for both professional and everyday use.
Designed to perform in extreme environments, the Blue Yonder pays tribute to Marathon’s heritage as the official watch supplier to Allied Forces. Since 1941, the family-run company has built precision instruments trusted by military, law enforcement, and rescue professionals across the globe.
With its blend of form and function, the Blue Yonder SSNAV-D is aimed at both collectors and adventurers seeking a timepiece that delivers reliable performance and striking aesthetics.
