For Canadians at home or abroad, few watches carry as much quiet pride as the Marathon Grey Maple GSAR. Reference WW194006SS-0310 sets a grey maple leaf on the black dial of the 41mm Government Search and Rescue automatic, with a brushed steel case and a stainless steel bracelet.

Marathon's connection to Canada runs deep. The company dates to 1904, supplied the RCAF from 1941 and Allied forces through World War II, and its watches have been used by elite members of the Canadian military. The GSAR itself was built to Canadian Government search and rescue requirements before becoming the most storied model in the line. The Grey Maple edition simply puts that lineage on the dial.

It is equally a superb everyday diver. Tritium gas tubes glow from the hour markers and all hands, the syringe hands are easy to read under stress, and the 24-hour inner scale and date at 4:30 add useful information. At 41mm with 20mm lugs it suits a wide range of wrists, and the bracelet makes it an easy choice for work, travel or weekends at the lake.
