Mühle-Glashutte – S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE Edition

Mühle-GlashütteS.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE 42.5mm Limited Edition

S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE

In February 2002, the first S.A.R. Rescue-Timers were presented to the captains of the rescue fleet of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS). The robust Mühle watch has been proving its worth on even the toughest of rescue missions carried out by the sea rescuers ever since. With the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE, we are celebrating the 15th anniversary of the use of our S.A.R. Rescue-Timer by the sea rescuers of the DGzRS.

While the original watch has remained unchanged since 2002 and needs to stay the same due to its specific function, a special edition gives us the time and scope to really go overboard, especially in terms of design. This is what we thought and this is precisely what we did. The first special feature of our anniversary model was the selection of a new case material that changes a little bit every day. The middle section of the case of the special edition is made of aluminium bronze, a material that is also used to make propellers in the field of shipbuilding.

How you wear your watch and what you experience with it always has a certain impact on the appearance of your everyday companion. Some S.A.R. Rescue-Timers therefore clearly reflect the challenges that they have faced together with their captains. The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE will adapt to suit its wearer in the same way, especially thanks to its bronze case, which will form a patina typical of bronze over time. This layer not only protects the material underneath, but also changes the case in an extremely individual manner depending on how the watch is worn by its owner and the environmental influences it faces. Each wearer's individual circumstances therefore result in a truly unique watch that is unlike any of the other special edition watches, which are limited to a total of just 150 timepieces.

Wearers can also individualise their watch by choosing between two different straps. Alongside the Mühle rubber strap with a black DLC-coated folding clasp, the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE also comes with a sporty leather and canvas strap with a middle section reflecting the shape of the case.

The face of the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer BRONZE is fully coated in Super LumiNova and its hands are skeletonised with a black coating.

The hands therefore clearly stand out against the cream-coloured background and enable wearers to clearly view the date display in the 4 o'clock position, which is also enlarged by a reverse magnifier under the crystal.

As with all Mühle watches, the movement has been refined and finished according to ‘Glashütte quality’ requirements and Mühle’s strict in-house accuracy standards. By retaining all of the tried and tested functions of the original S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, the Limited Edition collection continues to deliver on reliability and performance. The major points of difference in the S.A.R. Anniversary model are the specially crafted aluminium bronze case and the fully luminous dial.

Being untreated bronze, the case material is designed to change its patina over time. The gradual development of the Verdigris as time goes by allows the wearer to observe the aging process in an individual and personal way.

The face of the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Bronze stands apart from its fellow S.A.R. models because it is fully coated in Super LumiNova and its hands are skeletonised with a black coating thus providing strong contrast for optimal legibility in all lighting.

Wearers can further individualise their watch by choosing between two different straps. The piece is delivered with Mühle’s comfortable, integrated rubber strap with black DLC-coated folding clasp, as well as a leather/canvas band should you require a more formal look.

The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Bronze is designed to do so much more than stand the test of time – it is intentionally crafted to weather it with you.
