This bespoke edition of the Durrant GMT has been created exclusively for members of 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment. Built for professionals, the Durrant combines field-ready durability with understated design. Each piece features an engraved caseback and unit dial print. The dial carries the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the standard Durrant but with subtle, unit-specific detailing unique to this collaboration. Each watch will come shipped on the rubber strap and have a spare black zulu strap. Watches will be produced and assembled once the order window closes on the 20th March 2026, with delivery estimated at 3–5 months from that point. Please note: due to the use of a screw-down caseback, engraving orientation cannot be guaranteed.
