Im Februar 2002 wurden die ersten S.A.R. Rescue-Timer an die Vormänner der Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Rettung Schiffbrüchiger (DGzRS) übergeben. Die Einsatzuhr wurde gemeinsam mit ihnen entwickelt und muss sich seitdem im harten Seenotrettungsalltag bewähren. Dabei wird der S.A.R. Rescue-Timer unter anderem als Zeitgeber bei Nachteinsätzen genutzt. Dank seiner großzügig mit Super-LumiNova ausgestatten Zeiger und der charakteristisch geformten Indizes ist eine zeitliche Orientierung jederzeit möglich.
Das S.A.R. Jubiläum wird bei Mühle-Glashütte angemessen gefeiert. Denn der S.A.R. Rescue-Timer hat sich seit seiner Indienststellung zu der Mühle-Ikone schlechthin entwickelt. Verantwortlich dafür zeichnet nicht nur die ebenso funktionale wie unverwechselbare Zifferblatt-Gestaltung, aufgrund derer man den S.A.R. Rescue-Timer schon aus mehreren Metern Entfernung erkennt – sondern auch die Alltagstauglichkeit einer praxisorientierten Uhr, die einfach alles mitmacht.
After the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer was manufactured unchanged for 20 years, we are carrying out a moderate facelift on the tried-and-tested rescue watch in the anniversary year. Since the rescue watch is still in service with the sea rescuers and has to fulfill a precisely defined purpose, the facelift of the proven watch was very moderate.
The modification includes a black date disc that now shows the date in white numerals. In addition, there is a crown in bead-blasted stainless steel, which now perfectly matches the matte case of the S.A.R. Rescue timer fits.
As before, the wearer of a new S.A.R. Rescue-Timer can continue to enjoy the well-known advantages of the timepiece: A 4 mm thick, scratch-resistant sapphire glass ensures an unclouded view of the extremely legible dial at all times. The 42 mm stainless steel case withstands an enormous water pressure of up to 100 bar. And a reliable SW 200-1, Mühle version including an in-house rotor and a particularly shock-resistant woodpecker neck fine adjustment ensures precise timekeeping.
The German Maritime Search and Rescue Service (DGzRS) is responsible for the maritime search and rescue service in the German areas of the North Sea and Baltic Sea. In order to fulfill its tasks, it keeps around 60 sea rescue cruisers and boats ready for action at 55 stations between Borkum in the west and Usedom in the east – around the clock, in all weathers. 180 permanent employees and around 800 voluntary sea rescuers carry out around 2,000 missions every year. The entire independent and self-responsible work of the sea rescuers is financed exclusively by voluntary donations, without claiming tax money. Since the DGzRS was founded in 1865, its crews have rescued more than 86,000 people from distress at sea or from imminent danger. The Federal President is the patron of the rescue work.
