Marathon Watch Anthracite SAR Unit

Collection profile · 2018

Marathon’s Anthracite SAR Unit is a black IP-armoured, tactical reinterpretation of the SAR family that expands the lineup across 36mm, 41mm, and 46mm sizes while preserving the brand’s professional rescue-watch utility and military-grade ethos.

Why it matters

The Anthracite SAR Unit modernizes Marathon’s core SAR identity with stealth styling and broad sizing, making the line easier to fit into both mission use and everyday tool-watch wear.
