About Marathon Dive Watches Series

Marathon offers several series of dive watches, each designed with specific features to meet various needs – with the GSAR, GSAR NGM, and TSAR NGM being notable examples. The GSAR (Government Search and Rescue) is a rugged dive watch designed for military and search and rescue operations. It is known for its durability and precision.

The GSAR NGM (Non-Government Model) is essentially the civilian version of the GSAR. It shares most of the same features but is available to the general public. On the other hand, the TSAR (Tritium Search and Rescue) series is designed for those who prefer the reliability and low maintenance of a quartz movement. It is also intended for professional use in harsh conditions.

Meanwhile, the TSAR NGM (Non-Government Model) is the civilian counterpart to the TSAR, offering the same features and durability without the government contract markings. Whether you need a watch for professional use or adventurous pursuits, Marathon has a model that will meet your expectations.
