Ep. 182: Mitchell Wein of Marathon Watch

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Mitchell Wein, Vice President of Marathon Watch. Marathon is known for producing military spec watches at an affordable price point, and the brand has a fascinating history dating back over 100 years. Mitchell takes us through Marathon’s past, their rigorous testing protocols, the details behind their continued use of tritium tubes to provide luminescence to their dials, and a whole lot more. Marathon is a brand like few others, and anyone who has owned one, or has an interest in extremely technical and well built watches, will enjoy this episode. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.
