Treat Yourself - Marathon OSAR-D
In 2001, Marathon, a military watch supplier, released a Search and Rescue (SAR) watch for the Canadian Armed Forces, which became incredibly popular. The watch was designed to withstand harsh conditions and meet the needs of military search and rescue technicians. It featured a clean, no-nonsense dial, large baton hands, a date magnifier, a tall bezel with excellent grip, and was water-resistant to 300 meters. Since then, many iterations have been introduced with Arabic numeral dials with tritium-illuminated markers and hands. Fans have longed for the original; Marathon is now answering their prayers. The Original SAR (OSAR) watch is back! It features the iconic case, a fully graduated bezel, and an ultra-functional oversized crown identical to the original design. The dial has painted-on oversized markers with generous amounts of MaraGlo luminescent paint, and the same material fills the hands. Powered by a dependable Sellita SW00-1, this watch is as practical as possible.

Tissot has become one of the most prolific watch manufacturers over the generations. They produce a wide range of watches, from solar-powered multifunctional analog/digital watches to ultra-deep mechanical dive watches. However, many people are unaware that they also make elegant dress watches. The Heritage 1938 line, often overshadowed by their sports watch counterparts, offers a great deal of classic charm at a very reasonable price point. The 39mm version we chose has a silver dial with blued hands and numerals, providing excellent contrast without being overly bold. It even comes with a grey leather strap to match the dial and a stainless steel mesh strap. Powered by a proper chronometer-rated movement, it is only 11.1mm thick. It's not too dressy, not too sporty, and totally classy. This watch sings on any wrist.

Carrying a dedicated flashlight can be incredibly useful for finding lost items, navigating in the dark, or dealing with emergencies. Just like carrying a pocketknife, once you do, you wonder how you always went through life without one on you. Nitecore offers a compact and powerful TUP flashlight, which provides up to 1000 lumens of lighting thanks to its CREE XP-L HD LED and a long battery life of up to 70 hours of continuous use thanks to its rechargeable 1200 mAh battery. It even has a specially designed reflector that can throw the beam up to 180 meters away. It features an OLED screen displaying the current mode, battery level, and remaining runtime. Made of aluminum alloy and only 2.76 inches long by 1.16 inches wide by 1.16 inches thick, you will wonder how it’s possible to pack so much power into something so tiny. We cannot think of any reason why you shouldn’t have one. So, what are you waiting for?
