Mühle-Glashütte - S.A.R. Mission-Timer TITAN

Mühle-Glashütte is expanding the S.A.R. family with a new model, the S.A.R. Mission-Timer TITAN. Price: €2,900

The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer timepiece by Mühle-Glashütte has been used by the sea rescuers of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) in emergency operations on the North and Baltic Seas for more than 20 years.

To mark this anniversary, the German brand is enriching its S.A.R. (Search And Rescue) collection with a new model, the S.A.R. Mission-Timer TITAN. 

The watch has a completely new case that is made of light and biocompatible titanium. This has a diameter of 43 mm and is equipped with the rounded, closed lugs integrating the black rubber strap with a titanium folding clasp that includes an extension to adjust the length.

The top is crowned by a scratch-resistant black ceramic bezel. The total height is 13 mm, including the 3 mm-thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Water resistance is guaranteed up to a pressure of 50 ATM (500 metres / 1,650 feet).

The dial guarantees excellent readability thanks to its wide indices with minute numerals and distinctive triangles at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock. These are not simply covered with luminous material but are manufactured with the help of recessed cut-outs that can accommodate a larger amount of luminous material. 

The solid caseback is engraved with a representation of the coastline of Germany and the operational area of the sea rescuers on the North and Baltic Seas. The locations of the sea rescuers headquarter in Bremen and the Mühle-Glashütte manufactory in the eastern Ore Mountains are also indicated in the engraving.

In addition to the regular collection watch, Mühle-Glashütte created the S.A.R. Mission-Timer TITAN “Unikat 2022”, a 63-piece limited edition whose caseback is engraved with the silhouette and the name of one of the 63 sea rescue cruisers or boats of the current rescue fleet of the DGzRS.

Based on a Sellita SW400-1 a, the Mühle SW 400-1 self-winding movement is enhanced by a patented woodpecker neck fine regulation for improved robustness. Beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), it offers 38 hours of power reserve.

The price of the Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Mission-Timer TITAN retails at Euro 2,900 while the “Unikat 2022” limited edition has a price of Euro 3,900. muehle-glashuette.de
