Established in 1869 as a precision instrument brand, Mühle Glashütte may not be a household name, but aficionados of quality timepieces have long recognized its outstanding value. Take, for example, the company’s new Yacht-Timer Bronze. Reflecting Mühle Glashütte’s history as a designer of watches for maritime professionals and the German Navy, the Yacht-Timer Bronze features a 44mm diameter bronze case capped by a 2.5mm-thick, double anti-glare sapphire crystal that is water-resistant and pressure-tested to 300 meters. This limited edition watch operates through SW 200-1 Mühle Version automatic movement with a “woodpecker neck” regulator and a 38-hour power reserve.

The exceptional timekeeping craftsmanship aside, the first thing that you will notice about the Mühle Glashütte Yacht-Timer Bronze is the way that it looks. Offsetting the burnished bronze of its precision case, the watch visually pops off the wrist with an ocean blue textile strap, bezel, and face.
