Second Hour The Sattelberg Mk2 Watch

For those with an appreciation for timepieces that blend history, durability, and design finesse, the Second Hour Sattelberg Mk2 Watch is a standout addition to any collection. Priced at $850 AUD, this rugged yet refined field watch is a testament to craftsmanship and resilience, paying tribute to the brave Australian soldiers who fought in the Sattelberg campaign during World War II.

Crafted with an unwavering commitment to quality, the Sattelberg Mk2 is built to endure the rigours of everyday life and the most demanding adventures. Its 316L stainless steel case and bracelet are surface-hardened to an impressive 1200 Vickers, ensuring exceptional scratch resistance. This feature is not just limited to the watch case but extends to the bracelet and clasp, offering a level of durability that’s hard to match. The sleek 40mm case diameter, combined with a 47mm lug-to-lug length and a remarkably slim 10.5mm profile (including the crystal), make this watch as comfortable as it is rugged – perfect for daily wear or as part of your EDC (Everyday Carry).

Powered by the reliable Japanese-made Miyota 9015 automatic movement, the Sattelberg Mk2 delivers precise timekeeping with a 42-hour power reserve, ensuring you’re always on schedule. A flat sapphire crystal with six layers of internal AR coating provides both clarity and protection, allowing you to appreciate the enhanced dial design that comes in three bold colours. These dial options, paired with either a leather strap or the exquisite 7-link bracelet, offer a versatile look that seamlessly transitions from rugged outdoor pursuits to more refined settings.

The bracelet itself is a work of art, meticulously designed over two years by the team at Second Hour. Featuring polished chamfers along its outside edge and full polished links, this bracelet brings a touch of sophistication to the watch’s overall rugged aesthetic. The push-button micro-adjustment clasp ensures a snug fit, and the inclusion of quick-release spring bars makes swapping between the bracelet and leather strap a breeze.

Honouring its namesake, the Sattelberg Mk2 carries the longitude and latitude coordinates of Sattelberg etched into its case back, serving as a reminder of the courage and tenacity displayed during the pivotal WWII campaign. This attention to detail and historical significance adds a layer of depth to the watch, making it more than just a timepiece—it’s a story worn on your wrist.

Finished with a Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9 lume for exceptional visibility in low-light conditions, the Sattelberg Mk2 is as functional as it is visually striking. Each watch comes packaged in a custom, hard-wearing zip-up travel case, complete with a screwdriver for adjustments, making it a truly complete package for those who demand more from their gear.

In essence, the Sattelberg Mk2 Watch from Second Hour is a versatile, rugged, and impeccably designed field watch that delivers on all fronts. It’s a fitting homage to those who endured the hardships of the past, while also serving as an indispensable accessory for modern adventurers.
