Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Edition 1994 M1-41-03-1994-KB

The Mühle-Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Edition 1994 takes the most operationally proven watch in the Mühle collection and reinterprets it as a 155-piece limited edition for the brand's 30th anniversary. The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer — developed with the coxswains of the DGzRS German Maritime Search and Rescue Service — has been in active service since its launch. The Edition 1994 honours that legacy with a new material palette: black PVD-coated stainless steel case and a Mühle blue rubber bezel that introduces the brand's anniversary colour into the tool watch family for the first time.

The blue bezel against the black PVD case creates a striking two-tone contrast that immediately sets this apart from every standard S.A.R. in existence. The Mühle blue — the signature colour running through every Edition 1994 release — transforms the Rescue-Timer's character from pure operational instrument to collectible tool watch without compromising its functional DNA. The black dial with Super-LumiNova hands and indices maintains the high-contrast readability the coxswains specified, and the blue rubber strap with DLC-coated folding clasp completes the anniversary colour story from bezel to wrist. The DLC coating on the clasp matches the dark finish of the case — a detail that signals the level of thought behind this edition.

Inside, the SW 200-1 in the Mühle version features the patented woodpecker neck regulation — the shock-resistant system originally developed for this watch. The movement carries the Edition 1994 anniversary rotor, visible through the caseback. With only 155 pieces produced — one for every year since Robert Mühle founded the family business in 1869 — this is a Rescue-Timer that will never be made again.

Key Features

• Black PVD-coated stainless steel case — The entire case is coated via PVD (physical vapour deposition), producing a uniform matte black finish that is more durable than standard plating. The dark surface serves double duty: it gives the Edition 1994 a stealth aesthetic and provides a dramatic backdrop for the Mühle blue bezel
• Mühle blue rubber bezel — The signature Edition 1994 colour appears on the safety bezel — the same functional rubber bezel design from the standard S.A.R. that absorbs impact and eliminates sharp edges, now in the anniversary blue. The colour contrast against the black PVD case is the defining visual of this edition
• Blue rubber strap with DLC-coated folding clasp — 20mm blue rubber strap resistant to saltwater, UV, and chemicals. The folding clasp is DLC-coated (diamond-like carbon) to match the dark finish of the PVD case — a cohesive detail that runs the anniversary palette from bezel through strap to clasp
• SW 200-1, Mühle Version with anniversary rotor — The same movement from the standard S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, refined in Glashütte with the patented woodpecker neck regulation, blued screws, Glashütte solarisation, and perlage finishing. The rotor is decorated with the Edition 1994 anniversary logo
• Patented woodpecker neck regulation — Originally developed for the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer in 2003, the shock-resistant regulation locks the regulator arm in two axes simultaneously. This is the watch it was made for
• Black dial with full Super-LumiNova — The same high-contrast readability standard specified by the DGzRS coxswains. Hands and indices fully coated with Super-LumiNova for legibility in darkness and low-light conditions

Technical Specifications

The Edition 1994 Story

• The S.A.R. origin — The Rescue-Timer is the most important watch Mühle has ever made. It produced the patented woodpecker neck regulation, established the brand's tool watch credentials, and proved that Glashütte craftsmanship could survive the harshest operational conditions. The Edition 1994 acknowledges that founding role by making the S.A.R. part of the commemorative series
• 1994 — The refounding — After Soviet-era expropriation and 45 years under GDR state control, Hans-Jürgen Mühle re-established the family business in 1994. The Edition 1994 marks 30 years since that moment — and the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer, born from the shipyard partnership that launched Mühle's wristwatch era in 1996, is the direct product of that refounding
• 155 pieces — One for every year of the Mühle family's presence in Glashütte since Robert Mühle's 1869 founding. The limitation number connects the 30th anniversary to the full 155-year lineage
• Mühle blue across the range — Every Edition 1994 release carries the brand's signature blue as a unifying thread. On the 29er Big Bronze, it appears on the dial. On this S.A.R., it appears on the bezel and strap — the functional colour accent that identifies the edition at a glance
