CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSEvsMarathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz

The CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE is noted for its striking central tourbillon, DLC-coated titanium case, and 24k gold horse with diamond hands, all offered at a price point under $2,700. One owner reported their watch stopped working after two months, and the company did not respond to inquiries, while another found the leather strap to be subpar. The watch has a 45.5mm size and a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE as an attention-grabbing showcase of modern Chinese watchmaking, with its standout tourbillon and material execution being key draws despite some reported durability and accessory concerns.

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz is widely praised for its high-accuracy Swiss Made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, rated at +/- 10 seconds per year, and its tritium lume. Reviewers and owners highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, noting the sandblasted steel case with an asymmetric design, excellent bi-directional bezel action, and drilled lug holes. Some owners find it perfectly suited for sport/rugged use, though not necessarily as an everyday watch. One owner points out that the case's distinctive asymmetry deviates from current aesthetic trends. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz highly for its robust build and exceptional timekeeping accuracy at its price point.
