HAMBURG Edition 1911 dark blue silver / SuperSlim 20 silver

Dark blue reads almost black indoors and opens into real color the moment daylight reaches it. That is the trick the Sternglas HAMBURG Edition 1911 plays, and on a brushed steel SuperSlim bracelet the effect stays cool the whole way through.

The HAMBURG line is Sternglas at its most instrument-like: larger, more legible, with printed Arabic numerals in place of the baton markers used elsewhere in the range and a fine minute scale around the outer edge. The brand was founded in Hamburg in 2016 and describes its watches as designed in Hamburg, drawing on Bauhaus principles of reduction and clarity rather than any institutional link to the school.

Edition 1911 pairs a dark blue dial with a silver-tone stainless steel case, 42 mm in diameter with 20 mm between the lugs. A quartz movement drives the hands and a date display. The crystal is double-domed sapphire with anti-reflective coating on both faces, and water resistance is 5 bar. The SuperSlim is a slim steel bracelet rather than a leather strap: 316L at 2.2 mm thick with a brushed steel clasp, which keeps the profile low.

An all-metal blue-dial watch that behaves in an office and does not look out of place on a Saturday.

Perfect for: dark blue dial watches on steel bracelets, 42 mm quartz watches with date, slim steel bracelet watches.
