Available in multiple grades from Standard to Top, the SW200-1 powers watches from dozens of Swiss and international brands.

The Marnaut Dark Surge 300 is noted for its distinctive "sea urchin" dial pattern and original design. Reviewers consistently mention the lack of minute markers on the bezel, which is seen as a drawback for traditional diving functionality, and some note a small amount of backward play in the bezel. The case size is described as having a larger wrist presence than its dimensions suggest, with one source stating the 41mm case and another the 42mm case, and lug-to-lug measurements around 52-53mm. One source reports the movement as a Sellita SW200-1 automatic with a 41-hour power reserve and 300m water resistance, while others state it is a Miyota 9015, with one noting audible rotor noise and another an average accuracy of 12 seconds fast per day. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Marnaut Dark Surge 300 to be a capable daily watch with a unique dial at a good value, despite noted bezel and dial marker limitations.
