Review
KMII provides a hands-on review of the Mühle Glashütte ProMare Chronograph, a timepiece that challenges perceptions of the brand beyond its well-known tool watches. This article delves into the watch's design, movement, and wearability, offering valuable insights for collectors considering a robust yet distinctive sports chronograph.
The second surprise was, how well it actually wore, in spite of quite liberal dimensions at 44mm x 15,4mm or so. Not a retiring piece that slips under cuffs easily but then it is primarily meant for an active, outdoor existence, and it should easily slip under the cuff of a winter jacket.Without joking, I can say, at the very first sight, that I love this watch (brand too! A German passion/poison I think). The dark "slate" dial seems very beautiful and, I suppose, changing in function of the light. IMHO, the combo dark grey / black / orange works very well and the strap perfectly matches with the overall watch (both case and dial). One limit nevertheless, the 44mm of this beast. But, for a sport\'s / summer watch it could be ok. Despite this lovely model, I think if I had to cho
I assume it also has a pusher corrctor for the date at 10? I cannot recognize it in the pic, but if there is no pusher (with 30 atm pressure resistance, Mühle might have been tempted to omit it altogether), setting the date is a pain in the a**. Just ask an owner of any Breitling 7753 chronograph ... Marcus
Thank you for the reminder of this brand. I have owned two of these watches. Each watch was solidly built, easy to read, free of pretense or flashiness. I was also able to get a close look last summer, and handle most of their current watches. Here's a link to the story. I used to depend on their Marine Chronometer for setting my wristwatches, prior to getting my satellite clock throughout the house. Here they are synched up to the second, after an hour of fussing around with "Clock chores" such
But I can fully understand you - the brand does have a certain 'off the beaten path' appeal As for size - do try it on, it wears smaller than it sounds! Thanks for your feedback
I find watches without a fast set date mechanism these days somewhat anachronistic. But luckily here they sorted it with the pusher, like you described.
They have been primarily known for their marine instruments, which they still produce. And yours is a sterling example, as are the two watches you have had. And you sum it up in a nutshell, solid, legible and unpretentious. Now I'm off to reading your article
