From the looks of this, it appears Marathon is going to do an LE of the original SAR with ladder hands. I’d consider one!

Is it just me or does the lime pip look too far from the hour markers? The dial must be very small in relation to the bezel. I guess we’ll find out on the 24th.

Either that or they have minute/second markers around the lumed markers or a Minute Chapter Ring like Seiko Divers...

If you look at the current GSAR/TSAR it’s the same, with smaller dial and the chapter ring appearing angled to the larger crystal. Not an issue.

The lack of reflection on that chapter ring in the announcement photo makes me wonder if it will be DLC with black chapter ring.

If no cyclops I’ll probably consider one too, but in my perfect world they would offer it later as a no-date.

I’d also like to the steel Navigator offered with a Miraglow dial instead of tritium.

Love it. If its the same 40mm one... I can easily recommend it for a daily.

I'm still kicking myself in the nuts for not buying one of the OGs when they were readily available.

The GSAR is already $1500 on strap and $1800 on bracelet, so I’m guessing the new Miraglo ones will be $1700/$2000.

Geez, the TSAR price has increased too...$1200 on rubber!

Geez… that sucks. I’ve had my TSAR for 6 years. Great watch - but I wouldn’t rate it as a $1200 quartz.

I feel the same way. Remember when I could've bought a SAR-D for a song.

So the only differences between GSAR and SAR are tritium tube dial and hands, right?

The original was the SAR, which used the ETA 2824, had superuminova dial & ladder hands, date at 3 w/cyclops.

GSAR changes included tritium tube dial & handset, date at 4:30, no cyclops. Initial GSAR I believe carried on the 2824, but have since changed to Sellita movement.

Likely this “coming soon” release will return to original dial style, but probably with their enhanced version of super luminova they call “MaraGlo”. Unknown further details at this point.

If Trump wears it will it have MaraLaGlo lume?

Love this.
I almost bought one about 10 times and never did.

Marathon is going to price them out of their market.

You're right, they have been gouging for some time.

Oh neat, I missed seeing this when you posted it Seth.
Can’t thank you enough for the heads up about it !!!

I don’t know why they ever stopped making this one
to begin with to tell the truth.

I like marathon but like you say I’m not paying some of the money they want for their new watches. If anyone’s interested in an arctic TSAR…

Looks like they will call it the “OSAR-D” with the “D” being for date, like the SSNav-D is the date model and the SSNav is no date. I hope this means we’ll see a no-date SAR!

Damn Tapatalk won’t let me post pic

They dropped a sneak peek. I don’t know if the jizz on crystal is included….

It doesn’t look dry. You can probably just wipe it off.

Oh - you were talking about the cyclops. My bad.

Maybe it’s just a bad photo, but those lume plots look very bad.
