The appeal of SAR Rescue Timer
The "real thing" chosen by professionals / SAR model with ultimate visibility and reliability
Mühle watches are designed with the highest priority on being able to tell the time at a glance.
The SAR model in particular is a highly visible and durable watch developed for rescue operations in rough seas.
This authentic tool watch has been in active use by the German Maritime Search and Rescue Agency (DGzRS) for over 20 years since its launch in 2002. Despite its stylish exterior, its internal components are strictly compliant with field standards.
From fishing, yachting, and other outdoor activities to hard daily work, this is the perfect watch for anyone looking for a truly reliable watch.
Trust in functional beauty built with German rescue organizations
A reliable watch recognized by those in the field who save lives
The German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) is a venerable rescue organization that has been operating in the North and Baltic Seas for over 150 years and has saved more than 86,000 lives to date. The entirely donation-funded organization remains at the forefront of saving lives.
In 2002, DGzRS formally requested Mühle-Glashütte to create a watch that could be used safely even in the harsh conditions of the ocean. The SAR Rescue-Timer was developed with a thorough focus on visibility, shock resistance, and ease of use, reflecting feedback from those in the field.
For over 20 years since then, the SAR has continued to meet the needs of professionals while also expanding to include people seeking a truly reliable watch, and has now become a model that symbolizes the philosophy of Mühle-Glashütte.
A simple yet powerful tool born from extreme conditions
Trust is in the details
There's a reason for the simplicity of the SAR model.
It is not decorative, but a "shape chosen for use" - functional beauty that eliminates all unnecessary elements.
This watch was created with the assumption that it would be used in the extreme conditions of sea rescue.
High visibility, shock resistance, and wearability have been thoroughly pursued to withstand rough seas, low visibility, and operation through gloves. Feedback from the DGzRS (German Maritime Search and Rescue Service) on the ground is utilized throughout.
You'll surely be able to experience its perfection even in your everyday life when you're near water, such as when fishing or SUPing.
Protected by glass that is approximately three times thicker than that of a typical watch
Depth of trust
The SAR uses 4mm sapphire crystal glass , which is about three times thicker than a typical wristwatch.
It is a durable, professional-grade design that anticipates all sorts of "what if" situations, from violent rocking on a boat, to sudden impacts outdoors, to minor collisions in everyday life.
It will remain a reliable companion , gently supporting you in all your activities, unfazed by accidents such as falling over or hitting your tackle box while fishing.
The difference is clear only in the absence of light
High brightness Luminova
- Visibility that can be seen at a glance even in dim light . The hands and indexes are generously filled with high-brightness Luminova luminous material .
Whether you're fishing early in the morning or camping after dark , you can tell the time at a glance.
It has a quiet strength that will help you not miss that one throw.
Instantly find the right direction
▲ mark at 12 o'clock
- A ▲ and two dot marks are placed at the 12 o'clock position so that you can intuitively tell which side of the watch is up or down, even in dark places or bad weather when your sense of direction and orientation can become unclear, even in nature.
This is a traditional design feature of pilot watches, and it helps to compensate for the "sensory gap" that can occur in nature.
This specification is especially useful in situations where judgment is required, such as fishing, SUP, and kayaking .
Comfort that doesn't restrict movement
Crown at 4 o'clock and rounded case design
- Comfortable to wear all day long. By positioning the crown at 4 o'clock, it does not interfere with the range of motion of the wrist, allowing for stress-free operation of rods and paddles .
In addition, the edges of the case are rounded to prevent snagging on clothing or skin.
This was originally intended to prevent injury to the person being rescued during rescue operations, but it also resulted in a comfortable fit that can be worn all day without stress .
A reliable movement born from precision technology
Accurate timekeeping in any environment
Reliability, precision, durability, and peace of mind are supported by the technical expertise of Mühle-Glashütte. All of this in one watch.
The SAR uses an automatic movement equipped with Mühle's proud "Woodpecker Regulator" adjustment system.
This results in minimal time lag and high durability and reliability, allowing the watch to continue operating stably even in harsh environments.
Whether you're on a boat exposed to the sea breeze, fishing on the rocks and getting wet, or camping with temperature differences,
Once you put it on, it will become a "reliable piece of gear" that will allow you to immerse yourself in your work without any worries.
A genuine watch born from a professional environment, perfect for hobbies and everyday life.
The SAR Rescue-Timer is a watch that combines the toughness and reliability cultivated on the front lines of the ocean with a comfortable fit for everyday life and the outdoors.
