All about the MARATHON 41mm diver's watch with automatic winding (GSAR) WW194006SS-0130

A watch with history: The origin of the SAR-D

In the early 2000s, a very special model made its way to the wrists of Canadian SAR technicians (Search and Rescue). With the introduction of the 41-mm SAR-D, a new era began in the development of rugged mission watches, specifically tailored to the tough demands of rescue teams. This watch was distinguished by its mil-spec Type I dial – equipped with a cyclops date and fully luminous, geometric hour markers. These ensured optimal readability, even under extremely poor lighting conditions or underwater.

Robustness meets functionality

From the beginning, the SAR-D was more than just a timekeeper. It was designed to perform in challenging environments – whether in icy heights, dark dives, or nighttime rescue missions. Special emphasis was placed on visibility: the luminous markings ensured clear readability in every situation. Another practical detail was the included three-piece rubber band set, which could be individually adjusted and guaranteed secure hold even under heavy use.

Further development to the OSAR-D: Technically optimized

With the OSAR-D – short for “Original Search and Rescue with Date” – the tradition of the SAR line is consistently continued and elevated to a new technical level. The watch has been revised not only visually but also functionally. The heart is the reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, equipped with the proven Incabloc® shock absorber system. This combination ensures precise performance and high durability – even under strong shocks.

Improvements in detail

In addition to the new movement, the readability concept has been further optimized. The enlarged indices combined with the advanced MaraGlo luminous system provide even better night vision. The cyclops over the date window has also been revised: with its 1.5x magnification, the date is now especially clear. The watch thus remains a reliable companion – day and night, on land or in water.

Technical features of the OSAR-D

The case is made of robust stainless steel (316L) and has been carefully brushed for a matte, reflection-free look. The screw-down crown type contributes to high water resistance, as does the solid construction. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal that provides clear visibility even under heavy use. The unidirectional bezel with a 60-minute scale allows precise dive time tracking – matching the impressive diving capability of up to 30 ATM.

About me

My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.

Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.

As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.

So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you.

PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.

My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)

Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Cancellation & Return Shipping

You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.

Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No response received?

You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.

If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.
