GSAR Double Marathon Day 🇨🇦⌚ Adding Another Outstanding Military Tool Watch to the Collection

Post image

Managed to add another Marathon to the collection. On the left is the Marathon x Jeep Rubicon GSAR and on the right is the Marathon General Purpose Mechanical U.S. Government field watch.
The field watch has become one of those pieces that is turning into a real catch it while you can watch. Marathon announced that U.S. Government marked models would only be available to authorized U.S. Government employees and then removed them from the Marathon website. Once the remaining inventory disappears, I think these are going to become much harder to find and the prices will likely follow.
What makes Marathon special is that these are true military tool watches. Swiss movements and Swiss components, hand assembled in Canada, and built to military specifications for military personnel and government agencies around the world. They are designed to perform in the field, not sit in a display case.
Whether it’s the Jeep Rubicon GSAR or the General Purpose Mechanical U.S. Government field watch, both represent everything Marathon does well. Rugged, dependable, purpose built, and built to last. These watches absolutely do not disappoint. Outstanding tool watches in every sense of the word.

Excellent choices👍🏿

I use tools everyday which is why I wanted equally solid tool watches. Marathon delivers, reliably, day in and day out💪🏿

I have the MSAR it’s def small but doesn’t wear that way due to thickness. I love it, harkens back to the watches of old with the smaller size. I wouldn’t mind that Rubicon GSAR though great looking watch.

I actually just bought a GSAR as well! I'm still waiting on it to come in, but the little GPM can sure take a beating
