Marathon GSAR 41mm automatic
A deputy with a large Arizona sheriff's office, three years into wearing the Marathon GSAR as his duty watch, photographed off the clock on a trail in the mountains of Montana. His account: it's been pretty banged up and has seen a lot, but it's never failed him. Countless hours on shift, and now a lake in the high country on his own time, same watch for all of it.

Intel Report
Marathon GSAR
Marathon has built watches to military specification since 1939, and the GSAR, for Government Search and Rescue, is its 41 millimeter automatic diver, issued to Canadian and US forces and carrying the federal stock number to prove it. It runs a Sellita automatic behind a sapphire crystal, 300 meters of water resistance, and tritium tube illumination that glows for years without light. Built to a government contract rather than a marketing brief.
Arizona Sheriff's Office, Off Duty in Montana
The submitter is a deputy with a large Arizona sheriff's office who has worn the GSAR on duty for about three years. The photo is a day off, a trail in the Montana mountains, the watch that clocks his shifts along for the hike. He calls it the best tool watch money can buy, an opinion earned over three banged up years.
