This one has had the quartz movement swapped out for a Swiss ETA 2824 automatic.. Marathon watches are made the the US and Canadian government.

US seal on the clasp!

Hey, I checked out their site. The chrono 7750 is a good looking piece.



Look like real solid timepieces.



Glad your mod was successful.

OK Trevor, I want to pick your brain a little. As you know I have a TSAR, love it, and now I just picked up a JSAR (Nov. '07 as well), anyway just curious if you had the ETA conversion done yourself or is that the way you purchased it? And one more thing, where can I have this conversion done, I have to have a Swiss ETA JSAR in my collection, these are so far, that I have found, the most durable and bad azz timepieces out there...

Cant buy one new with an automatic! Have to do it yourself or have someone do it for you! Duarte at NEWW can do it but will want you to supply the movement and Jack from IWW will also do the conversion. My only suggestion would be to find a movement with a black date wheel like the one it comes with in quartz!! Black date just looks better and my only regret about the conversion!!

Hey Trevor... That's a sweet Marathon you have. I've been eyeballing yours for some time now. Just may have to add one to the collection. I would like more info regarding the mod whenever you have the time. Enjoy that baby often and wear it in good health.
