Canadian Search & Rescue needed a watch that could live up to the demands of their job. As such, they contacted Marathon, a Candian watch company, and put them on contract.
“Build us something with the qualities of a tank.”

4. And, of course, everyone is always looking for a pen… Especially when you don’t have one.
5. I love flashlights and felt like this was the perfect opportunity to have one with me at all times.
