Designed for the aviation enthusiast, MARQ Aviator is an ideal companion for pilots and those passionate about flight. The brushed titanium bracelet, swept-wing links and locking clasp, plus ceramic 24-hour GMT bezel are perfect for navigating worldwide aeronautical databases and airports.

Pilots can also set alerts to be notified when conditions are right for flying. World travelers can take advantage of the Jet Lag Adviser watch face, which features the aviator’s home time zone, a “feels like” time and guidance on light, sleep and exercise.

Design and Display

The MARQ collection offers a perfect blend of sophisticated design and everyday convenience. It is crafted with superior materials like sapphire crystal, ceramic and jacquard-weave nylon, featuring unique design elements such as titanium, leather, nylon and silicone bracelets.

The high-performance Grade-5 titanium is five-times stronger and harder than stainless steel, making it more scratch-resistant and lightweight. The 46mm watch case is equipped with a domed sapphire lens and a vibrant AMOLED display with a highly responsive touchscreen.

Battery Life

The MARQ provides up to 16 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, so you won’t have to worry about charging while travelling or even overnight. It collects biometric data while sleeping to give individualized information on sleep quality, stress, and recovery.

The watch comes with a magnetic charger that aligns easily with each MARQ watch, with a charge time of one hour—twice as fast as the previous design.

The MARQ collection includes advanced 24/7 health and wellness features, such as wrist-based heart rate, respiration and stress tracking, advanced sleep insights, Body-Battery™ energy monitoring, and a new Jet Lag Adviser. This feature helps global travellers and athletes adjust to new time zones with light exposure, sleep schedule, and exercise suggestions.
