Marathon Celebrates 60 Years of the Canadian Flag with Limited-Edition ADANAC Navigator Pilot's Automatic Watch

Engineered for Flight and Rooted in the Red Maple Leaf.

TORONTO, July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Marathon Watch, the leading supplier of genuine military timing devices to governments and civilians, today unveiled the limited-edition ADANAC Stainless Steel Navigator Pilot's Automatic timepiece. Honouring the 60^th anniversary of the Canadian flag, this special-edition watch pays tribute to one of the country's most enduring symbols of pride and unity. Limited to just 500 pieces worldwide, the ADANAC Navigator is a true collector's item for patriots, pilots, and watch enthusiasts alike.

Rooted in over 85 years of Canadian craftsmanship, Marathon Watch has long been recognized for its military-grade durability and enduring connection to its national heritage. Inspired by the iconic flag first raised in 1965, the ADANAC Navigator pays homage to national pride with precision and purpose. Its crisp Arctic white dial is anchored by a striking red maple leaf at the center, framed by a vivid red bezel that echoes the flag's vertical bars. A red and white nylon strap with blue accents nods to both the flag's colourway and the vast Canadian skies it soars through. Completing the design, the crown is engraved with a maple leaf, a subtle yet powerful symbol of unity, resilience, and enduring national pride.

"As a Canadian brand with more than eight decades of craftsmanship behind us, we're proud to mark the 60^th anniversary of our national flag with a timepiece that honours its meaning," said Mitchell Wein, President of Marathon Watch. "The ADANAC Navigator is more than a watch, it's a tribute to our heritage, a symbol of resilience, and a reminder of the values that unite Canadians at home and around the world." 

Building upon Marathon's renowned Navigator collection, this limited-edition timepiece is engineered to perform in the toughest conditions. Originally developed in partnership with Kelly Air Force Base, the Navigator lineup features an iconic asymmetrical case design, crafted in either 316L stainless steel or ultra-light, high-impact composite fibreshell for enhanced durability.

Equipped with a sapphire crystal resistant to rapid changes in air pressure, a continuously glowing dial for low-light visibility, and a bi-directional bezel capable of tracking a second time zone, the Navigator delivers precision and reliability in any environment. Timeless in form and national in spirit, the ADANAC Red Maple edition serves as a wearable celebration of Canada's enduring legacy.

The ADANAC Stainless Steel Navigator Pilot's Automatic is available for purchase starting today at MarathonWatch.com, priced at $1,280 USD and limited to 500 pieces.
