Marathon President Discusses Military Heritage and Anthracite SAR Expansion
Marathon Watch Company has highlighted several recent media features, including an interview between Marathon President Mitchell Wein and Miguel Ortiz of 'We Are The Mighty.' The discussion centers on Marathon's long-standing history as a military supplier and the rugged specifications required for combat-ready timepieces. The brand remains focused on its heritage of providing functional gear for troops in the field.
The newsletter also showcases the recent expansion of the Anthracite SAR (Search and Rescue) collection. This series of black IP-coated watches includes the 36mm Anthracite MSAR, which was recently recognized by Esquire as one of the best black watches of 2026. The collection is described as a functional choice for professionals rather than just a fashion statement, emphasizing durability and legibility.
In addition to the 36mm model, the Anthracite SAR Unit is available in 41mm and 46mm sizes. These Type II Diver's Automatics have received broad coverage from enthusiast outlets such as Worn & Wound, Two Broke Watch Snobs, and StupidDOPE. The new all-black military dive watches are officially issued and available for purchase through Marathon's website.
