Designed for operators who depend on absolute reliability, the TSAR 41mm is Marathon’s definitive mission-ready quartz diver — the watch issued to U.S. government search-and-rescue units around the world. Its iconic “US GOV” dial marking reinforces its lineage as a true service tool, built for those who work in unforgiving conditions where precision is not optional.
Engineered from 316L surgical-grade stainless steel and powered by a high-torque, 3-jewel Swiss-made quartz movement, the TSAR delivers unwavering accuracy in environments where mechanical watches can fail. With 300 meters of water resistance, a unidirectional dive bezel, and constant-glow tritium illumination, it maintains legibility through smoke, darkness, and deep-water pressure — conditions under which lives often depend on timing.
The 41mm case offers a balanced, wearable profile suitable for both professional duty and everyday use, while the included 3-piece black rubber strap system provides durability, security, and comfort in any environment. From rescue swimmers to military personnel, the TSAR remains a trusted tool — a watch chosen not for luxury, but for survival.
This is Marathon’s purest expression of a government-spec search-and-rescue instrument: functional, rugged, and built with the singular purpose of performing when everything else stops.
