Marathon Watch has unveiled three new OSAR-D watches—a white dial color option, a 36 mm option, and a 46 mm option.

Marathon is known for its military watches, and has designed performance pieces for Search and Rescue teams. OSAR-D watches stem from the original 41mm SAR, which was highly popular with Search and Rescue in the early 2000s. The special diver collection, which is also known as Original Search and Rescue with Date (OSAR-D), has grown over the years and now features multiple watches with varying sizes, ranging from 36 mm to 40 mm.

Like other models from the collection, the three new watches still preserve the family’s precision and high-quality engineering. Mitchell Wein, president of Marathon Watch, said, “The OSAR-D family furthers that legacy while evolving to meet the diverse needs of today’s operators. Blending technological advancements with time-honored craftsmanship, the OSAR-D continues to perform while maintaining the trusted reliability that Marathon is renowned for.”

These new watches feature the upgrades introduced to the collection in 2024, including the bigger indices and the MaraGlo illumination.

At the heart of the 36 mm watch is the SW-200 movement, an in-house caliber with a 38-hour power reserve. Marathon introduced a new caliber, the SW600 movement, on the 46 mm option, which is powerful enough to keep the watch running for 62 hours.

The 41 mm OSAR-D white dial option will be ready in early May with a $1,500 price tag for the rubber strap and $1,800 for the stainless steel bracelet. The two new sizes will be officially launched in the third quarter of the year. Prices will range from $1,000 – $2,500.

TAG Heuer becomes official timekeeper of TCS New York City Marathon
Swiss watchmaker brings precision timing to world's largest marathon
Tag Heuer marathon sponsor

TAG Heuer has been named the official timekeeper of the TCS New York City Marathon, bringing Swiss-made precision to one of the world's most iconic endurance events. The partnership positions the luxury watchmaker at the center of a race that welcomes over 50,000 runners from around the world annually.
The New York City Marathon has undergone remarkable transformation since its humble beginnings in 1970, when just 127 runners completed loops in Central Park for a one-dollar entry fee, competing for repurposed bowling trophies and inexpensive wristwatches. In 1976, the race expanded beyond the park into the streets, creating the current 26.2-mile journey across Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Manhattan.
TAG Heuer's timing technology will record and commemorate every participant's official race time, transforming each finish into a measurable milestone of personal victory. The integration extends beyond basic timekeeping, with every runner receiving their official time powered by TAG Heuer technology, along with branded finish-line images and shareable results available through the official marathon app.
"We are all measured by the moments that define us," said TAG Heuer CEO Antoine Pin. "The TCS New York City Marathon represents a moment of truth, resilience, and shared humanity. It is remarkable to witness a single event bring together so many individuals from all walks of life, united by the common drive to push their limits."
The partnership aligns with TAG Heuer's 2025 brand campaign "Designed to Win," unveiled at Watches and Wonders Geneva as a tribute to those who transform preparation into performance. Christine Burke, New York Road Runners Chief Commercial Officer, noted that every athlete embodies this mentality when they line up at the start.
Professional athletes will receive special recognition through TAG Heuer Connected watches awarded to winners of the elite field. These timepieces merge advanced sport-tracking features including GPS, heart rate monitoring, and VO₂ max estimations with refined luxury design, making them ideal tools for athletes pursuing excellence.
The collaboration extends beyond the flagship marathon to include the United Airlines NYC Half and Abbott Dash to the Finish Line 5K, reinforcing TAG Heuer's growing presence in endurance racing. This expansion demonstrates the brand's commitment to supporting both elite and amateur athletes across multiple distance categories.
