Product Information

There are currently three principal watch collections within the brand; the General Purpose, which is a simple effective field watch, the Navigator Pilot, by far the most recognisable and widely used, and perhaps the least known, the Diver SAR which we will focus on here.

We are proud to present this stylish & functional Breguet Classique Le Réveil du Tsar 18ct white gold watch for sale.It’s always interesting when a watch manufacturer synonymous with a particular type of product goes off-piste and develops something fundamentally different from their regular portfolio. This is exactly what Marathon has done with their professional dive watch range. The Marathon Watch Co. from Ontario, Canada, was founded in 1939 by Morris Wein. They made a name for themselves during WW2 by providing combat watches and timing equipment to the Allied Forces. Now under control of the fourth generation of the Wein family they are well known in military and outdoor circles for designing robust combat-ready watches. If you run into a soldier on duty with the US, UK, or Canadian military there is a good chance they may be issued with a Marathon.

All SAR watches, irrespective of case size, have the expected professional diver specifications such as brushed steel cases with protection shoulders for the screw down crown, a unidirectional bezel, AR coated sapphire crystals and drilled lugs - which are always useful if you want to replace the standard Vulcanised rubber strap or transition to a military style strap. Why buy a Marathon SAR? First it is important to note that almost all Marathon watches use tritium vials on the indices and hands as opposed to standard luminescence. These sealed tubes deliver no higher than 25 millicuries of radiation which allows them to fall within current US military specifications MIL-PRF-46374G. The benefit of this illumination source is that it burns brightly for around 25 years, in multiple colours, and visibility is much improved from standard lume. In fact, tritium is so visible, that in certain operational theatres it is considered too bright for safe tactical use. However, for 99.9% of users this additional legibility is a real asset, and it is especially useful when diving.It’s well detailed and finished too. The bezel, which stands 4mm tall and has the same deep grooved teeth as the big guys, is rigid with a crisp, snappy action. The Maraglow marker at 0/60 also glows very bright, brighter than the tritium tubes, though they last longer. The lugs are drilled, which I’m always glad to see. And it comes with a cool rubber strap that has partially cut holes, allowing you to size it specifically for your wrist, creating a very clean look.
