Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPQ

The Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPQ is a vintage-inspired sports watch with a handsome dial honoring military heritage and a unique case shape. It features a 41mm stainless steel case with a matte parkerized finish, a sapphire crystal, and a MaraGlo luminous dial, powered by an ETA F06.402 quartz movement.

On balance, reviewers find the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPQ to be a good value, particularly for vintage Jeep enthusiasts, due to its design and heritage-inspired dial.
