it is so fun to hear how excited you are. You're so giddy! well done and well deserved Marc. LIW is killing these days, great service, great products great company. Bravo!
Nice Mark! I can't imagine a collab partner with more creds than Marathon! I have owned the original black polycarbonate case / acrylic crystal / black dial version for several years. I wear it on a more colorful after market one piece nylon strap. The watch has been amazingly accurate. It is running perfectly on the original factory installed battery. Of a ridiculously large watch collection this has by far the most wrist time, as it's my night time watch! The tritium is as bright as when I first purchased the watch. My one wish is that Marathon offer a regular time elapsed bezel which day to day would be more useful than dual time for my needs. Congratulations.
What I like about these bezels is that they can do both pretty well. They include minute markings up to 20 minutes which helps the timing bezel utility.
Congratulations Marc! All the navigators have a really unique fit. I tried different versions this past fall and they all fit great! Love the white dial.
Mark so glad you chose Marathon a long standing family owned Canadian 🇨🇦 watch company for your collaboration, being a proud Canadian I purchased one of the early Navigator originals from your company and it is one of my favourite pieces in my collection and faithfully ticks away with F06 jewelled movement very accurately. Biggest improvement ( other than the sapphire crystal) is the battery hatch. Much better than having to open the case and possibly compromising the water resistance. The white dial and blue hands and markers are killer! Hope they sellout for you in a week. Cheers and Congrats…MikeR.
That monochromatic color scheme really looks really clean, and that pop of orange in the seconds hand is fantastic! Great job on the lume. Congratulations on collaborating with Marathon!
Congrats on the collab. So happy for you. I would’ve bought one but I just picked up a large arctic white gsar on a Marathon logo steel bracelet. Lovin it!
Congratulations Marc!!! I'm so very happy for you! You deserve this honor. I love your choices for this special Navigator. Well done, good sir! Onwards and Upwards, my friend. Cheers!🙂👍
Bought it the second I got the text. I love the concept of how the white dial and blue tritium tubes subtly represent the LIW logo. It's a unique way of having the LIW logo on the dial but keeping the dial clean.
Really wonderful to see tritium as opposed to standard lume, that’s certainly a big plus to the watch. Unfortunately the watch is too big for my little wrist but I’d love to see an Islander 38 or 39mm with tritium. Not THAT I would drool for
Very cool collaboration. If these make it to a second edition need to have Marathon make a case in Islander blue Resin just for you. I'm sure that's financially viable haha
I love Marathon watches and youre awesome marc! Happy you were able to get to collab with this great brand! 60m wr is super odd!! Ive only seen 30,50,100,200,300,500,1000
Hey Marc, you not only deserve this Collab, you earned it! BUT, I would like to see your Logo on the Dial or Islander writen on the Dial, not just only on the back of the watch. I would have bought it instantly with a litle bit of LIW on the Dial... For example instead of the H3 a Islander Logo, which also would perfectly balance the radioactive logo in terms of symetry
Mark, I'm glad they're a limited run so I don't have to worry about you selling enough to know that there's a market for tritium lume AND blue lume. I've pointed out several Islanders that were begging for BGW9 (more bluish) instead of C3 (green). And I've pointed out several Islanders that had a great dial face and index design where tritium indecis would have worked great (similar to the way Ball Watch tries to work tritium into "classic" or normal looking watches). Anyway, since these will sell out (and not a huge marathon or quartz fan), I don't need to buy it to show support for the product and can continue eagerly awaiting a BGW9 and /or tritium Islander in a 42mm+ size and diver style. (black DLC and orange-ish tritium is also sharp!)
Absolutely fire. My only wish would be a timing bezel, but course, that’s not in the DNA of the Navigator. Slobs like me don’t travel anywhere, so not a big GMT bezel guy. Although easy enough to translate I suppose. For anyone who hasn’t experienced, Tritium is awesome.
I was drooling till I heard the price… It’s not that it’s too expensive has just too expensive for me… I’ll look at one of your less expensive islander models. Congrats on the collaboration.
Marc, very cool! I am impressed. Love the trick 12 hour bezel that renders a second time zone (why isnt this more common!). Question: what is the expected battery life of the quartz movement?
Beautiful watch. The next best thing to an Arctic Anthracite GSAR. For your next collaboration with Marathon, please do a NH34 GMT Anthracite GSAR with the blue tritium and Red Second hand on a black or Arctic dial.
Congratulations on the collaboration. I’m not a big fan of Marathon though. The case shape turns me off and there are other options with Tritium and better WR at a lower price.
Very cool, congrats. I just wish they put your logo on the dial or at least on the crown. I wish you would do a collab with me on a blue aventurine/ goldstone Brookville. That would be cool. With your logo of course! ;)
Marc, Once this one sells out, will you please release an Anthrocite GSAR with your blue tritium. I would jump on that one!!! And, I would love to see your logo or "Islander" on the dial. Looks great.
Love the white dial and the blue and orange tritium is so nice!! Just curious was a lumed second hand discussed or was that one of those non negotiable items? Either way great watch and it looks like the second hand hits all the indices which is a huge thing with me. LoL. Congratulations on the collaboration.
@@islandwatch so I bought it. Got it. I'm number 15 and I thought I was late to the game! Do you have a random grab bin and send from there?! It can't possibly be that I was fifteenth!!
Congratulations, Marc! Very tasteful collaboration. White dial on the Navigator looks great!
Couldn't agree more!
it is so fun to hear how excited you are. You're so giddy! well done and well deserved Marc. LIW is killing these days, great service, great products great company. Bravo!
thank you!
I have two older navigators that were issued to me when I was in the Army 20 years ago. This new one is sweet looking.
Nice Mark! I can't imagine a collab partner with more creds than Marathon! I have owned the original black polycarbonate case / acrylic crystal / black dial version for several years.

That’s cool they keep one for their archive. I would have never thought about that.
yup!
Congrats Morc! I'm glad with every success you have
thank you!
Where's Mindy?
Congratulations Marc! All the navigators have a really unique fit. I tried different versions this past fall and they all fit great! Love the white dial.
Cool, thanks!
Great job! Just the color combo I’ve been looking for. I grabbed mine and can’t wait to receive it.
Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks so much!

Glad you like it!
Congratulations Mark on your milestone collaboration with Marathon, well deserved 🙌🏻
Well I know what you'll be wearing the next time you fly. Congrats Marc!!!!
so true!
The blue is very cool. Also this is a watch that is near impossible to lose! Great collaboration Marc!
Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the collab. So happy for you. I would’ve bought one but I just picked up a large arctic white gsar on a Marathon logo steel bracelet. Lovin it!

Congrats Marc. Great co-lab! Know you are not just excited for the brand, but as a pilot as well! ✈️🌎

yes, thank you for that!
Congrats Marc. Very happy for you. That said, I am more excited by the Islander releases.
No worries and thank you.
Congratulations Marc! Gorgeous watch and what a unique collaboration. I just love your enthusiasm. Well done 👏
Great input on this watch Marc. Always liked the Navigator and you definitely elevated it. Very exciting, you deserve it 👍🏻
Much appreciated!
Marc, we can barely notice your excitement 😉
Hope its a success!
The fixed lugs are a dealbreaker for me. Love the movement, though. Congrats on this unusual but welcome collab.
Congratulations on the collaboration!! Marathon is my favorite brand, and I'll definitely get a Navigator someday.
Congrats on the collab. No doubt it will be a success. 👍🏼
Hope so!
Congrats Marc, this execution was excellent!!
Glad you think so!
Looks great! Such an iconic brand/watch…congratulations on the collaboration! Caseback looks awesome BTW.
Congrats. I had bought a black one (original) but had QC issues with the bezel. I ended up returning. Hopefully they resolved the issue.
Whoa this is sweet news! Mark dream team collaboration right here
thanks!
Wow! Thats a big time collaboration!
Really wonderful to see tritium as opposed to standard lume, that’s certainly a big plus to the watch. Unfortunately the watch is too big for my little wrist but I’d love to see an Islander 38 or 39mm with tritium. Not THAT I would drool for

I thought about that.
Grats on the collab!
Outstanding Marc! I'll definitely be adding to my collection and to support independent watch makers like yourself. 👍
A suggestion for the shared logo in the future--Canadian maple leaf with the Islander logo in the center. I think that would look great on the dial.
Congratulations Mark, really nice watch
Thank you kindly
I’m proud of you Wildman.
Congratulations brother. I can feel your excitement. This is. Great achievement. Keep up the great work.
Nice collaboration, I think the changes are tasteful and the watch looks really good.

Love to see these aren’t limited
Not yet 😂
It's the Casioak that sends this over the top for me
Very Nice! I like the blue tritium markers!
That is very VERY cool👍 BIG congrats from Denmark!
So happy for you Marc. Cool watch!
Thanks!
I bought one, can't wait to get it!
congrats on the collab!! big fan of both!!
Just another kid under the Christmas tree. Happy for you. Congrats! 🤗
LOL, thanks.
Congratulations. Plenty of reason to me stoked.
I was planning to buy a navigator and when I saw this I couldn't help but buy it, I was wishing for this colour scheme
Congrats Marc!!!
The entire side of case acting as crown guard really disturbs me
no worries, thanks for watching
Great job as always ! I personally find those NATO straps leave the watch sitting loosely on my wrist. I'd love that on a black silicone strap
thanks for checking it out
Nice! This is huge. Congrats brother
Congratulations!!
Congratulations Marc. A well deserved honor for you and LIW.
thank you so much!
Marc, very cool! I am impressed. Love the trick 12 hour bezel that renders a second time zone (why isnt this more common!). Question: what is the expected battery life of the quartz movement?
Great grab and go beater and real nice easy way too change the battey and even better with a white dial 👍
Totally agree!
congratulations on that beautiful collaboration.
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow! Very nice! Flawless, great work!
Thank you very much!
Congratulations - should be a hit! 250 will instantly evaporate from your shelves.
Beautiful watch. The next best thing to an Arctic Anthracite GSAR. For your next collaboration with Marathon, please do a NH34 GMT Anthracite GSAR with the blue tritium and Red Second hand on a black or Arctic dial.
CongratulTions, Marc, very nice.
Many thanks!
Are you stoked? I think you’re stoked.
slightly
can't wait until it arrives!
awesome, thank you
This is really nice! I want one!!
Dial is awesome. That bezel isn't jelling with it at all imo.
no worries, thank you.
Marc, I want one with a jubilee bracelet, in the same material as the case. Really cool watch!
that would be pretty slick
Wow Marathon, that’s whole another level, congrats!
Yes! Thank you!
Too cool Marc! We'll done!
thank you
Congrats on a very nice collab!
Thanks a bunch!
Congratulations on the collaboration. I’m not a big fan of Marathon though. The case shape turns me off and there are other options with Tritium and better WR at a lower price.
Fair enough!
I'm drooling, I'm drooling already!!🤤

Congrats this looks great! What's the diameter of the bezel--is it maybe 39mm--ish??
39.3mm :)
Marc, Once this one sells out, will you please release an Anthrocite GSAR with your blue tritium. I would jump on that one!!!
And, I would love to see your logo or "Islander" on the dial.
Looks great.
Nice collaboration version
thank you!
Looks fantastic!!
thanks!
As a big Marathon fan I love it!
But to be clear, we, enthusiasts, did find a way to remove the bars and use whatever straps we wanted 😉
Do tell?? 👂
I just ordered one, will be perfect vacation watch for me. P in PW
Love the white dial and the blue and orange tritium is so nice!! Just curious was a lumed second hand discussed or was that one of those non negotiable items?

so sick! ordered

Nice like it !! Choices choices ?When is the islander tritium coming ?

So cool. if i was not poor and living in third world country i would deff get one. great job Mark, this is a very nice collab.
Thanks for checking it out
Wooo nice collaboration 👌👌
thank you.
Congratulations
Thank you
Navigator platform is superb, but those curiously micro-mini dial numerals Marathon uses...
thanks for watching.
And when available???
Good job you deserve it.
Is the green dot tritium? Also what grade tritium is the blue?
Very nice!
Thanks!
