With the new Sportivo collection, Mühle-Glashütte unveiled a completely new watch family at this year’s Inhorgenta Munich. It comprises three models, the Sportivo Compass Date, Sportivo Travel GMT, and Sportivo Active Chronograph, each produced in stainless steel cases with a diameter of 42.5 millimeters and a water-resistance rating of 30 bar (300 meters).
As is typical of the Glashütte brand, the new Sportivo watches are powered by automatic movements equipped with Mühle’s own shock-resistant woodpecker regulation and personalized rotor. The calibers, which are regulated to chronometer standards, each come to life through a transparent case back. The three watches feature luminescent dials protected by a thick anti-reflective sapphire crystal. They are additionally attached to resilient canvas-rubber straps featuring pin buckles or bracelets, though steel bracelets are also available at a $300 premium.
Mühle-Glashütte Sportivo Compass Date
Designed for outdoor hiking activities, this time-only model comes with a bidirectional rotating compass bezel that allows the determination of the cardinal points. It features a ceramic inlay and frames the blue gradient dial that has a beautiful embossed texture. The Sportivo Compass Date is driven by the tried-and-tested SW 200-1 caliber and offers second-stop and quick-date functions.
Pricing is marked at approximately $2,500 when converted to USD.
Mühle-Glashütte Sportivo Active Chronograph
This self-winding chronograph also combines modern design with the Glashütte brand’s functionality-oriented design DNA. Like the Sportivo Compass Date, it has a blue dial with a color gradient and embossed texture and a bidirectional rotating bezel. The chronograph second and minute hands as well as the minute circle stand out in orange. Here, the date display is located at 6 o’clock. The watch is powered by the automatic MU 9419 caliber, which has a power reserve of 64 hours.
Pricing is marked at approximately $4,100 when converted to USD.
Mühle-Glashütte Sportivo Travel GMT
At a time when we operate worldwide or jet around the globe with ease, a GMT watch is an essential part of a contemporary watch collection. Thus, the third Sportivo watch of the bunch, the Sportivo Travel GMT, boasts two time zones.
The second time zone on the watch is indicated by a discreet hand with an arrow pointer indicating the second time zone on a raised ring with a 24-hour scale. The arrow shape also distinguishes the prominent hour hand. Here, too, Mühle-Glashütte has integrated a date which is displayed through a window at 3 o’clock. At the heart of this timepiece designed for travelers ticks the self-winding caliber SW 330-2 with a power reserve of 56 hours.
Pricing is marked at approximately $2,900 when converted to USD.
