HISTORY OF MARATHON WATCH COMPANY


The Marathon Watch Company manufactures watches in La Chaux-deFonds, Switzerland, and supplies them to government and military entities since early 1900’s. Most models contain self-luminous tritiumm tubes for reading ease in the dark. Marathon watches are typically not available to the general public, but may be obtained through surplus re-sellers.

The company has garnered a substantial following among watch aficionados for its high-performance diving watch--officially 6645-21-558-0133 and informally known the Marathon SAR (Search and Rescue)-- which was commissioned by the Canadian Defence Force for its search and rescue teams. Other models include the Navigator, intended for pilots and paratroopers, and a General Purpose variant for military and law enforcement field use.
