Genuine question, why do you describe it as pre-Gulf War?Originally Posted by Stanley637
June 1990, pre Gulf war.
Anyone else got one.

I understand yours may have a date of manufacture coincidence, but other than that, does it have a connection?
Its purely the manufacture date, June 1990, the gulf war kicked of in August 1990.
Waiting for the reissue, hopefully soon.
Had one a few years ago and sold it for a pittance
Love that case shape

thats a cracking collection,those green canvas straps look the part.
Cheers they were NOS from WW2. perfect for the watches. (obviously they are not Marathons but Waltham's)
There were actual issued Marathon watches for the US army but they have a completely different style from your picture.
Same as the Benrus I @ II

It’s good to see they are pushing their profile
They currently in their 2nd year of sponsoring a driver in the Porsche Cup and are also official time keeper of this weekends round the island race.
I would love to see them become a bit more well known.
