MARATHON 41mm Arctic Edition Large DIVER'S AUTOMATIC (GSAR) WW194006SS-0530

Icon of Rescue Operations

The Government Search and Rescue, or GSAR for short, is considered the most famous model within Marathon's SAR series and is highly regarded by both military units and watch collectors worldwide. Its robust construction, coupled with uncompromising functionality, makes it the first choice for demanding missions in extreme conditions.

Developed for Emergencies

The GSAR is designed to function reliably even under the most adverse circumstances. Its stainless steel case is made of durable 316L steel with a brushed finish and measures 41 mm in the standard version. For optimal control underwater, it is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale – ideal for precise dive times or time-critical rescue operations.

High-Level Mechanics

Inside, the proven Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement works, equipped with an Incabloc™ shock protection system. This high-quality movement has 26 jewels, which leads to very stable and durable performance. This is supported by a reliable date display, discreetly integrated into the dial.

Excellent Readability

The GSAR is designed to remain highly readable even in poor lighting conditions. This is ensured by luminous tritium gas tubes on all hour markers as well as on the hour and minute hands. Additionally, the bezel is equipped with a MaraGlo™ luminous dot, which allows for quick orientation in the dark – independently of external light sources.

Robustness Under All Conditions

An anti-reflective sapphire crystal reliably protects the dial from scratches and impacts, while the screwed-down crown ensures the watch's water resistance to a depth of 30 ATM (300 meters). This makes it suitable not only for diving but also meets the requirements of military special forces at sea.

Functional Carrying System

The scope of delivery includes a three-piece rubber strap set, produced in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Made from durable FKM rubber, it is designed for the high demands of military operations. Two buckle parts of different lengths allow for flexible adjustment to the wrist – regardless of whether the watch is worn directly on the skin or over a wetsuit.
