MÜHLE GLASHÜTTE S.A.R. Rescue-Timer SK HAMBURG

This stealthy, blacked-out new variant of the famous S.A.R. from Mühle-Glashütte was made in collaboration with the renowned, Hamburg-based family jewelry company, Wempe. 

Named the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer SK Hamburg, the watch was made in support of the German Sea Rescue, which is Germany’s coastal rescue service who – 

 are quite similar to the UK’s Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) who I imagine would also make good use of their own badass watch – I digress.

The Special Edition, which is limited to 150 pieces, also marks the construction of a new vessel, the sea rescue cruiser Hamburg, whose name "SK Hamburg” is proudly printed on its dial in red letters. 

In addition to the above, the Special Edition S.A.R. Rescue-Timer SK Hamburg boasts one or two other unique features that further distinguish it from the original S.A.R. (which btw is an incredible watch in itself).

Its dial is in matte black with its hands and indices both of which have been coated in black SuperLumiNova while its case is in Stainless steel (measuring Ø 42mm x H13.5mm) has been given a tough matte black PVD-coating. Historically the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer was designed with its crown at 4 o'clock, which has been rounded off for safety reasons – namely so that no sailor could be injured when rescuing someone from the water or the lifeboat.

The case which is water-resistant to an impressive 100bar AKA 1000m has been fitted with: a PVD-coated Stainless steel back, a screw-in crown, a 4mm thick Sapphire crystal and a black rubber bezel which helps to make it particularly robust. 

The watch comes on a black rubber strap with: a PVD-coated, Stainless steel folding safety-clasp and wet or dry suit extension. The strap is attached to the lugs via screws.

Powering the watch is an SW 200-1 Mühle Version, automatic movement which features Mühle’s woodpecker neck regulation, custom rotor, characteristic surface finishes, stop-second, fast date correction and power-reserve of 38-hrs.  

The new Mühle S.A.R. Rescue-Timer "SK Hamburg" watch available exclusively from branches of Juwelier WEMPE where it is listed for 1’990€ which includes a donation of 100€ for the Sea Rescuers for each watch sold.
