Sattelberg - Tough and Slim Automatic Field Watch
An adventure proof modern field watch with a Japanese Made automatic movement
Prices in Australian Dollars
The Sattelberg is named after Sattelberg in the Huon Peninsula, New Guinea. Not much more than a large hill at 896 metres, Sattelberg was a pivotal campaign in which Australian troops played a critical role, helping to turn the tide in the Pacific theatre. However, it is historical memory, rather than celebration of war, that makes Sattelberg so important to us here at Second Hour.
So, through our research, we have harnessed that memory to honour instead the Australian spirit of tenacity and courage in the face of great adversity that was characteristic of those who saw that time. A nod to this rugged location can be seen in the longitude and latitude coordinates for Sattelberg etched into the simple case back.
Sleek, svelte lines combine with devastating good looks and superior protection from the wear and tear of daily life. Rugged, versatile with durability hard wired into the design language, component selection and build quality.
With its classic good looks and outstanding use of materials, the Sattelberg will become an essential part of your active lifestyle.
Discover the reliability of the Japanese made Miyota 9015 and the robust scratch resistance delivered by our class leading surface hardening treatment.
Combining a highly versatile case diameter of 40mm a 47mm lug to lug and a supremely thin profile of just 10mm, the Sattelberg is the ultimate watch for your Every Day Carry

Automatic Power
The Japanese Made Miyota 9015 runs at a smooth 28,800 beats per hour. Thanks to its superior build quality it’s a movement that will provide many years of reliable, accurate performance, and be readily serviceable if required. The Miyota 9015 is a 24 jewel, automatic movement with seconds hacking and hand-winding, and is a venerable alternative to Swiss Made movements costing two and three times the price. However, Miyota 9015 has the clear advantage over Swiss workhorse movements such as the eta 2824 and Sellita SW200, thanks to a superior power reserve of 42 hours.
4 Phenomenal Colour Options
The Sattelberg case engineering was a major challenge for us. We wanted to retain the same profile shape as the Mandala, reduce the overall thickness while maintaining a solid 100 metres of water resistance. After numerous tweaks and tests we are thrilled to have achieved our goal of a sub 10mm case thickness. At a class leading 9.8mm, including the sapphire crystal, the Sattelberg can truly boast being versatile enough to slide under any cuff. To enhance the dressy feel of the watch we have created an elegant lug curve from the top elevation and extended the lug to lug to 47mm.
Featuring four dial colours: Service Blues, Officer, Gun Smoke and The Beacon (our first full lume dial), there is an option for all tastes. The stunning brushed effect of the Gun Smoke and Service Blues dials will impress with their light changing beauty, and the classic black of the Officer provides a less playful, more formal look.
As with every watch we make, it is perfectly complimented by our in-house designed diamond cut hands that offer precise lines and crisply finished edges. Each hand has generously applied Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9 for readability in low light conditions.
Every Sattelberg is treated with our class leading surface hardening technology that raises the case hardness value to 1200 Vickers. The Beacon - full lume dial - is coated in genuine DLC (Diamond Like Carbon).
Beating within is the Miyota 9015 automatic movement, which not only allows us to achieve such a slim profile but has the added reliability and accuracy you can expect from a premium, Japanese Made movement.
Straps
We scoured the world to find a strap worthy of the Sattelberg, testing many suppliers along the way. The padded canvas straps we've selected are produced by a small batch artisan maker to the highest standards and feature;
internal padding,
branded hardware
leather backing
oil sealed edges for superior comfort and durability.
We know you’ll agree they compliment the Sattelberg’s characteristics perfectly. An additional, custom made, two piece stretch fabric strap has been developed and is being tested for inclusion with every watch.
