A Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement powers the watch, while tritium tubes and MaraGlo provide continuous and supplementary illumination. Reference WW194026BK-0130 uses an 18mm black rubber strap and retains a screw-down crown and unidirectional dive bezel. Marathon listed the model at US$1,900 when the expanded anthracite range appeared in February 2026.
