HAMBURG Pro Automatic alabaster silver / Milanaise 20 silver

Alabaster is not quite white. It carries a faint warmth that stops a large dial from looking clinical, and on the Sternglas HAMBURG Pro Automatic it is paired with a silver case and a silver Milanese mesh bracelet.

The HAMBURG family is Sternglas's tribute to the city where the brand has been designing watches since 2016. Where the rest of the catalogue leans on Bauhaus-inspired reduction, this line takes its character from measuring instruments used at sea, favoring legibility and a slightly more technical drawing of the dial.

The Pro Automatic measures 42 mm across in 316L stainless steel, with the alabaster dial sitting beneath sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating. A self-winding automatic movement drives the hands and a date display, and the case is rated to 5 bar. The Milanaise bracelet is 316L Milanese mesh, 2.5 mm thick and 20 mm at the lugs, with an infinitely adjustable sliding clasp rather than fixed holes or links.

Soft dial, cool metal, no fuss about sizing. It suits anyone who has ever given up on a bracelet that fell between two holes.

Perfect for: alabaster dial watches, mesh bracelet automatics, understated 42 mm watches.
