Swiss made Marathon CSAR by Horoswiss back when they had a contract with Marathon.

It is smaller than most of the current generation of dive/mil Marathon watches at 40mm.

This watch came from a special order of about 65 watches and they are very few and far between today.   

It was same as new but missing one link when I got it.  The case/bct are bead blasted satin finish.

The bezel is resin and the lume is 'Maraglow' (Marathon's version of Super LumiNova).

ETA 2824-A2 movement.

ARNEX 12 atm (400ft) dive chrono from 1960s with Landeron 149...

It has the 12 ATM WR brag on the case back but imho, that is Bull even when new...30 to 50 feet maybe.

Why?

Because even with a double O ring crown, fairly large case back gasket, and thick acrylic crystal, it still has the standard pissant pushers.

The Landeron 149 never got much respect, but they turned out to be pretty good and were constructed much like the Valjoux 7733.  The Val 7733 later morphed into the Valjoux 7750 and turned out to be a huge hit.
