GOVERNMENT SEARCH AND RESCUE (GSAR)
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 Government Search and Rescue (GSAR). The GSAR is the most storied and venerable of our SAR Class of watches. It is highly sought after from both warfi ghters and collectors alike.

SPECIFICATIONS

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

TRITIUM GAS TUBES
The GSAR uses self-contained tritium gas tubes to ensure constant visibility in low light situations. A gas tube is placed on each hour marker and hand. 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 GSAR 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 feet underwater.
30 ATM – 300 M (1000 FT)
SHOCK RESISTANCE
For over 80 years Marathon has used Incabloc® shock absorbers to protect the Marathon engine. This watch combines Military toughness with Swiss craftsmanship in a watch that will get the job done, and look good doing it.
Incabloc® Shock Protection
SWISS CRAFTMANSHIP
Inside the GSAR automatic is a Swiss-made, 26 jewels Sellita SW200 with Incabloc™ Shock Absorber. These watches are hand-assembled in La Chaux-de- Fonds, Switzerland and guarantee the highest level of craftsmanship and accuracy.

GENERAL OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

1. Priming the movement.
   Your GSAR is charged via the movement of your wrist. Out of the box, gently move your watch back and forth to charge up the movement. Avoid hand-winding where necessary, as this could cause damage to the movement.

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

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. 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 customerservice@marathonwatch.com

SETTING THE TIME

1. Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 4.
2. Turn the crown counter clockwise to adjust the time.
3. Ensure correct AM/PM settings so that the date wheel changes at midnight and not mid-day.

SETTING THE DATE

1. Unscrew and pull the crown from position 1 to position 3.
2. 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.
NOTE: The GSAR was designed to automatically hand-wind the watch while screwing in the crown. Avoid hand-winding where necessary as this could cause damage to the movement.

TIMING BEZEL

1. Rotate your bezel counterclockwise and align the 12 o’clock bezel marker with the minute hand. This will set your start time.
2. Measure the minute hand against the bezel markers to count the elapsed time.

NOTE: When diving, use your dive watch as a support device alongside the recommended diving tools suggested by PADI or BSAC.
