LARGE DIVER’S QUARTZ (TSAR)
Marathon Search and Rescue (SAR) watches were developed to Canadian Government requirements for use in SAR operations. Built to withstand extreme conditions and match the capabilities of the user. First introduced in the early 1990s, they are still in active use today.
Commonly known as the Tritium Search and Rescue (TSAR). The TSAR is also known as the GSAR Quartz, as it boasts the same capabilities but with a high-torque quartz movement.

GENERAL OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

  1. Clean watch often.
    Clean regularly using rubbing alcohol, a toothbrush and a microfibre cloth.

  2. Service regularly.
    Regular servicing every four to six years will help to keep your movement running with Marathon-level precision. For servicing requests, contact our team directly at service@marathonwatch.com

  3. Always set it forward.
    During events such as daylight-savings, you might be inclined to wind your watch back an hour, however this can put undue stress on the movement of your watch. Always move the hands forward to reach your desired time setting.

  4. Dive and swim with confidence.
    Once the crown of the watch is fully secured our SAR Dive Watches are rated for 30ATM and are water resistant to a depth of 300 meters (1000 feet).
