Hi all! If you had your eye on one of the sport diving watches, you should be aware that Marathon Watch Company will be increasing their prices at the beginning of 2025 on some models.

Starting in January, prices on steel-cased diving watches and steel Navigator watches will increase. For example, the GSAR with the three-piece rubber strap will retail for $1700.  As most of you know, Marathon manufactures its rugged and bespoke timepieces in Switzerland.  Costs there are very high.  Marathon noted to us that…”It has been three years since we raised our watch pricing.”  During that time “costs have continued to rise….we only increased prices where necessary”.

This makes purchasing one this year especially attractive as you will get the sale price on the current price thus saving in effect twice on a new one after New Year’s!

We are shipping this week in time for Christmas/Hannukah delivery! If you are in the market for a sports watch or are planning to be in the New Year, be sure to check out our Holiday Sale now:
