Marathon MSAR
A Coast Guard sailor aboard USCGC Glen Harris, photographed at the LRAD hailing device on the cutter's deck during counterterrorism and narcotics interdiction operations in the Gulf of Oman. Kit up, sidearm holstered, one of the small boats' watchstanders in an overseas patrol area most people never associate with the Coast Guard. On the wrist through the gloves is his Marathon MSAR. Return submission from this handle, and the setting only got farther from home. If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Marathon MSAR
Marathon has built watches to military specification since 1939, and the MSAR, for Search and Rescue, is the compact quartz diver in that family, a sibling to the automatic GSAR. It carries the same hardware philosophy: a sapphire crystal, 300 meters of water resistance, and tritium gas tubes that glow for years without a charge, all built to a government contract rather than a catalog. Quartz because a search and rescue timepiece is judged on reliability first.
USCGC Glen Harris, Gulf of Oman
The submitter is a Coast Guard sailor aboard USCGC Glen Harris, a Sentinel class fast response cutter, deployed to the Gulf of Oman for counterterrorism and narcotics interdiction. The Coast Guard has kept cutters and crews in the 5th Fleet area for decades, boarding vessels and interdicting contraband alongside the Navy. The LRAD in the photo is the ship's voice, the first warning a suspect vessel hears before anything else happens.
