Marking the 10th anniversary: the S.A.R. Anniversary-Timer

Marking the 10th anniversary: the S.A.R. Anniversary-Timer

For a decade now, the Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer has been supporting crews of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service's vessels during their missions in the North Sea and the Baltic. To mark this anniversary, this successful nautical timepiece is now joined by a very special model: the S.A.R. Anniversary-Timer, in a limited edition of 2 × 250.

The maritime environment presents particular challenges for a wristwatch. For this reason, the captains of the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service's fleet (DGzRS) were closely involved in development of the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer's design and function. Mühle's background – stretching back over 140 years – in the construction of measurement instruments, combined with the needs of the ocean search and rescue services, led to the creation of an exceptionally robust watch that was and still is absolutely unique in its function and design. Sapphire crystal glass four millimeters thick, watertightness to a depth of 1,000 meters, and the shockproof automatic movement with Mühle-Glashütte’s own fine regulation are capable of withstanding tremendous water pressure and even strong shocks.

In addition, the steel case with rounded edges, rubber bezel and the special position of the crown at 4 o'clock mean that the watch cannot injure a wearer who is being pulled out of the water.
Ten years of sustained testing on the high seas revealed very little scope for improvement to this timepiece. As a fitting tribute to this nautical watch, it is to be joined on its anniversary by a sporting re-interpretation in the form of the S.A.R. Anniversary-Timer.
