Created for Marvin’s 175th Anniversary
Founded in Switzerland in 1850, Marvin has carried its watchmaking heritage through generations. The “175” signature on the dial commemorates the brand’s 175th anniversary in 2025, making this timepiece a distinctive tribute to an enduring legacy of passion, adventure, professionalism, and character.
The Signature of the European Edition
The five-star emblem identifies this watch as a European Edition. Each star represents one of five essential standards: timekeeping accuracy, movement stability, material craftsmanship, design quality, and brand reputation. Only qualifying watches that meet Marvin’s internal testing standards receive this distinctive mark.
Clean, Versatile and Effortlessly Refined
The minimalist black dial removes unnecessary decoration for a clear, confident appearance. Steel-tone luminous hands and illuminated hour markers ensure easy reading by day or night, while the date window adds everyday practicality. Understated with a suit and natural with casual clothing, it is designed to work across every setting.
