Introducing the Expanded OSAR-D Family from Marathon Watch
Marathon Watch, a leader in the production of military-grade timepieces, proudly unveils its newly expanded OSAR-D family, which includes additional size options and a striking Arctic white dial. This expansion builds on the legacy of the Search and Rescue (SAR) series, known for its unparalleled durability and precision.
Unveiling the New Features
The OSAR-D collection introduces two new sizes—36mm and 46mm—alongside the existing 41mm model, all equipped with an eye-catching Arctic white dial designed for superior legibility. This new option enhances visibility in bright conditions, making it perfect for professionals working in extreme environments.
A Historical Perspective
The original SAR, launched in the early 2000s, set the benchmark for Search and Rescue timepieces, marrying rugged durability with unparalleled functionality. According to Mitchell Wein, the President of Marathon Watch, the OSAR-D family builds upon the established reliability while integrating technological advancements suitable for today's diverse operational needs.
Enhanced Durability and Performance
The OSAR-D family maintains key features introduced during the successful launch of the 41mm model, including enhanced MaraGlo illumination for better visibility, larger indices for quick reading, and superior clarity on the date window. Each timepiece is powered by bespoke Marathon x Sellita automatic movements, ensuring that reliability and precision are always at the forefront.
What Makes the OSAR-D Stand Out?
This family of watches not only looks good but is robustly built for high-stakes missions. The inclusion of an Incabloc shock absorber reinforces the durability crucial for professionals who rely on their gear at critical moments. Furthermore, the 46mm model features the new SW600 movement, offering an impressive 62-hour power reserve—the largest in Marathon's history.
