The Seebataillon GMT was introduced in 2013. A year earlier, we began developing the tool watch in coordination with the command staff of the Sea Battalion. The soldiers became aware of Mühle-Glashütte through the S.A.R. Flieger-Chronograph, which is on board with the naval rescue pilots. They also had a need for a wristwatch tailored exactly to their requirements. So they approached us with the development of a timepiece that is solid and shockproof enough for any mission, guarantees an accurate time display day and night, and combines the best wearing comfort with optimal functionality. This is because the unit protects the soldiers, ships and buildings of the Navy in ports or on the high seas. To ensure that the watch can provide loyal service to soldiers in Germany as well as off the coast of Africa or in the Middle East, it should not only be reliable, self-sufficient and precise, but also particularly easy to read.
