I’m glad I rebought this quartz MSAR after selling mine old one a couple years ago. This has been a great summer watch that wears really well on a NATO!
Cheers, my fellow Marathon peeps

I have a camo strap that came with the ETA Black Bay 36 (mine is from 2018). These Tudor straps are woven and feel different than any other NATO I’ve used, but it’s quite nice. I never wear it on the BB36, but thought it would be fun to out it on the MSAR. The grey-toned camo pattern goes well with the white dial!

Any other white dial SARs on nato straps? I’d love to see more pairing to see what goes well.

I‘m glad to be back! I used to have a MSAR black dial quartz, but stupidly sold it a few years ago. I’ve been thinking about it ever since, and decided to get another one. I got a MSAR quartz white dial this time but I noticed that it wears thicker than my old one.

I thought I was going crazy, but I contacted Marathon and they confirmed that the case in the MSAR quartz was updated in the last couple years and it is a bit thicker (about 1mm thicker). they specifically said “The manufacture of that case changed and to accommodate our product the case size changed a little.”

I am a bit bummed, because I like wearing NATOs and having the watch wear even taller is not ideal, especially when there’s a thin quartz movement inside. it already wears like a stack of nickels! I still like it though! the white dial is great and I’m looking forward to getting it in the water

here is it on a Eulit perlon two-piece strap. Wrist is ~6.5” for reference. cheers!
