The Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Lumen on a metal/rubber strap is the most versatile configuration of the full-lume Rescue-Timer. It pairs the watch that turns night into day — the entire cream dial coated in Super-LumiNova, glowing vivid blue-green in darkness — with a strap that bridges the gap between the pure rubber variants and the full metal bracelet. Stainless steel links provide the visual weight and polished presence of metal, while rubber inserts add flex, comfort, and resistance to saltwater, chemicals, and UV exposure.
The Lumen concept inverts how a watch works in the dark. Instead of luminous hands and indices against a black dial, the entire dial surface is Super-LumiNova. The hands are skeletonized and painted black, becoming dark silhouettes against a glowing field. In daylight: warm cream dial, black hands, sharp contrast. In total darkness: the dial ignites, and the hands cut dark shapes through the light. You don't find the hands against the dark. The hands find you against the light.
Everything else is pure Rescue-Timer: 100 bar water resistance, 4mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal with the date magnifier cut into the underside, rubber safety bezel, and the SW 200-1 in the Mühle version with the patented woodpecker neck regulation — the shock-resistant system originally developed for this watch. The metal/rubber strap adds a level of finish that makes the Lumen equally at home on a dive boat and at a weekend dinner.

Key Features
- Full Super-LumiNova dial — The entire cream dial is coated with Super-LumiNova. In daylight: warm cream. In darkness: vivid blue-green glow across the full face. The dial becomes a light source — dramatically more readable in total darkness than conventional luminous markers
- Skeletonized black hands — Cut open and painted black, readable in daylight as sharp outlines on cream, and in darkness as dark silhouettes against the glowing dial. Two mechanisms, one design
- Metal/rubber combination strap with folding clasp — 20mm strap combining stainless steel links and rubber inserts. The metal provides structure, weight, and visual polish. The rubber provides flex, comfort, and total resistance to saltwater, UV, and chemicals. Secured with a folding clasp
- 100 bar (1,000m) water resistance — Pressure-tested for saltwater, sudden temperature changes, and high-pressure hose-downs. Screw-down crown. Ten times the rating of the 29er and Teutonia collections
- 4mm anti-reflective sapphire crystal — Three times the standard thickness. Date magnifier cut into the underside — nothing raised that can be knocked off
- Rubber bezel — Absorbs lateral impacts and eliminates sharp edges that could injure people during rescue. Safety-first design from the DGzRS coxswains

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Lumen strap should I choose — black rubber, red rubber, metal/rubber, or bracelet?
All four share the same full-lume cream dial, skeletonized hands, 100 bar case, and 4mm sapphire crystal. The difference is wrist presence and personality. Black rubber (M1-41-08-KB) is pure stealth — lightest, most discreet, lets the dial do all the talking. Red rubber (M1-41-08-KB-V) is DGzRS rescue red — bold, high-visibility, unmistakably S.A.R. Metal/rubber (this model, M1-41-08-MB) is the crossover — stainless steel links for visual weight and polish, rubber inserts for comfort and chemical resistance. Full metal bracelet is the most substantial on the wrist. Choose by how you want the watch to feel and where you'll wear it most.
What exactly is a metal/rubber strap?
The strap combines stainless steel links with rubber inserts in a single integrated design. The steel provides structure, visual weight, and a polished appearance. The rubber provides flexibility, comfort on the wrist, and total resistance to saltwater, UV exposure, and chemicals. The folding clasp is stainless steel. It's the middle ground between a pure rubber strap and a full metal bracelet — offering advantages of both without the compromises of either.
How is the Lumen different from the standard S.A.R. Rescue-Timer?
Same case, movement, water resistance, sapphire crystal, and rubber bezel. The difference is the dial. The standard S.A.R. (M1-41-03) has a black dial with Super-LumiNova on the hands and indices — bright marks against a dark field. The Lumen (M1-41-08) coats the entire dial in Super-LumiNova and uses skeletonized black hands — dark silhouettes against a glowing field. The Lumen produces dramatically more light in total darkness because the dial itself is the light source.
How long does the lume glow last?
Super-LumiNova charges from any light source. The Lumen's full-dial coating holds a visible glow significantly longer than standard hands-and-markers lume because there is vastly more surface area absorbing and re-emitting light. A few minutes of exposure to bright light will keep the dial readable for hours in darkness.
What is the woodpecker neck regulation?
Developed and patented by Mühle-Glashütte in 2003 specifically for the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, the woodpecker neck regulation locks the regulator arm both sideways and downward, preventing it from jumping out of position during shocks and impacts. The innovation was so successful that it was subsequently adopted across every Mühle movement.
Is this watch made in Germany?
Yes. While the base calibre is Swiss-made (Sellita), it is refined, regulated, and finished in Mühle-Glashütte's own manufactory in Glashütte, Saxony. The woodpecker neck regulation, Mühle rotor, and all finishing are applied in-house. The case, dial assembly, and final quality control — including 100 bar pressure testing — are performed in Glashütte.
How long does the power reserve last?
Up to 41 hours when fully wound. The automatic movement is self-winding through wrist motion. If left unworn for roughly two days, the watch will stop and need to be set again.
Is this a good gift?
For someone who appreciates both form and function, this is the ideal S.A.R. Lumen configuration. The metal/rubber strap gives the gift a sense of substance and daily wearability that pure rubber doesn't quite match, while the full-lume dial provides that unforgettable "turn off the lights" moment. Combined with 100 bar water resistance and the story of German sea rescue, this is a gift with spectacle and genuine depth. An outstanding choice for adventurers, divers, and anyone who values a watch built with real purpose.
