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.

TRITIUM GAS TUBES

These tubes are self-illuminating and contain an isotope of hydrogen, that will not dull down over time like photo-luminescent paint. CONSTANT ILLUMINATION
WATER RESISTANCE
The TSAR is made from 316L surgical-grade stainless-steel with a screwdown
crown and a synthetic sapphire crystal that allow it to operate while
submerged down to 300 meters or 1000 feetunderwater.
30 ATM – 300 M (1000 FT)
EXTENDED BATTERY LIFE
The TSAR is equipped with a low-power consumption movement, with an EOL (End-

GENERAL OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
-
Clean watch often.
Clean regularly using rubbing alcohol, a toothbrush and a microfibre cloth. -
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 [email protected] -
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. -
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).
SETTING THE TIME
- Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 4.
- Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the time.
- Ensure correct AM/PM settings so that the date wheel changes at midnight and not mid-day.
SETTING THE DATE
- Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 3.
- Turn the crown clockwise to change the date.
CAUTION: Do not adjust the date wheel between 9pm and 3am as this may damage the watch movement.
LOCKING THE CROWN
From position 2, push the crown into position 1 and rotate clockwise to lock
the crown back into place.
TIMING BEZEL
- Rotate your bezel counterclockwise and align the 12 o’clock bezel marker with the minute hand. This will set your start time.
- Measure the minute hand against the bezel markers to count the elapsed time.
NOTE: When diving, use your dive watch as a support device along side the recommended diving tools suggested by PADI or BSAC.
