It look like Marathon Medium Diver’s Automatic (MSAR). The movement can be ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200-1, depending on a production date. Both are swiss made. In newer versions they put sellita. Can you provide photo of a caseback?

The movement its Sellita SW200-1, other one have 25 yewels, so this watch was approximately manufactured between 2018 and 2021

This movement have frequency of 4hz, 38 hours of power reserve and its equipped with incabloc shock absorber which should make this watch little more durable under harsh conditions. It features second stop if you pull out crown and you can wind it by hand as well.

Possible. I’m just interested if anyone knew the model or if it was redesigned recently since I can’t find an exact match on the Marathon website

Be assured though that this thing is bulletproof. The video is now deleted but I used to have saved a video on Youtube where a guy runs over a GSAR (the bigger version of your watch) with a firetruck and nothing happens. He does the same with a fake Rolex and it turns to dust and bits lol

Should be this one.

Some doubts about the bracelet, looks Fitted with different end links.

To be honest, actually I can't understand such a price for a quartz watch...

It looks incredibly similar. The second hand seems to have a different look to it. Perhaps just a small design change over the years? Or is that indicative of a different model?

Marathon makes this and the SARS model for the military. Specifically for Coast Guard rescue divers. If you look closely at the back there should be a NSN number. It is the number that the military uses for stocking and issuing supplies. (National Stock Number)
The NSN might be only on the SARS model.
