When Marathon brought back the Original Search and Rescue with Date in 2024, a white-dial version was the natural next step, and the Arctic OSAR-D followed in 2025. The Marathon 36mm OSAR-D Arctic Edition, reference WW194026SS-2501-KIT, presents that bright dial in a compact Swiss automatic dive watch on a stainless steel bracelet.

The OSAR-D's roots go back to the SAR-D, issued to Canadian Search and Rescue Technicians in the early 2000s and the first of Marathon's SAR dive watches. Marathon re-engineered the design with larger geometric indices, MaraGlo lume on the indices, hands and bezel pip, and an improved cyclops date window at 3 o'clock. The Arctic Edition adds a white dial, which Marathon specifies for legibility in bright light and snow, giving the watch a fresh, high-contrast look that stands apart from the black version.

In 36mm form, the case is 13mm thick and 43.5mm from lug to lug, with 18mm lugs that suit smaller wrists. The SAR essentials remain intact: brushed 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, a guarded screw-down crown, 300 meters of water resistance and an oversized 120-click unidirectional bezel. A Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement with Incabloc shock protection keeps time, and the stainless steel bracelet included with this listing completes an all-steel, bright-dial package.
