Marathon Watch is perhaps one of the biggest watch brands in the world where many may not have heard of.

The company that was to become Marathon Watch was founded in 1904 as "Weinstrum Watch", which later changed to Wein Brothers. In 1939, Morris Wein founded the Marathon Watch, where it supplied precision timepieces all across the North America.

Arctic Edition Medium Diver's Automatic (MSAR Auto) 36mm - WW194026SS-0506 & WW194026SS-0501

The brand became popular very quickly, and in just two years in 1941, Marathon Watches began manufacturing timing instruments for the Allied Forces "(British forces). Today, the fourth generation of the family continues the tradition with a wide range of instruments measuring time, temperature and distance........

Really hard to find 16mm lug width straps for some Marathon models.
