The Beacon 2

$920.00

The night belongs to those who can read it.

The Beacon 2 is the watch that announces itself in darkness. Born from the obsession with maximum lume output, refined with the sharp, all-black menace of full DLC treatment — this is a field watch that moves as comfortably through a city evening as it does through total darkness. It doesn't just tell the time. It illuminates it.

Durability comes standard with our enhanced Sattelberg.

The original Beacon earned its cult following the hard way: wrists that wore it never wanted to take it off. That blaze of Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9 against an all-black DLC case became one of Second Hour's most loved designs. The Beacon 2 honours that legacy and sharpens it — with redesigned hands, a restyled dial inspired by the acclaimed Sattelberg Mk2, and a seven-link bracelet built for comfort and precision fit.

Everything that made it great. Everything that can be improved, improved.

Accuracy to Depend on

Beating within is the phenomenal, slim Japanese Made Miyota 9015 automatic movement, regulated in four positions for accuracy you can count on.

Benchmark Performance

BGW9 is the benchmark. Used by military and professional adventurers the world over, Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9 charges fast, glows long, and emits that unmistakable blue-green light that lume enthusiasts recognise instantly. On the Beacon 2, it covers the entire dial — not the indices, not just the hands. Everything glows. Hours after the sun goes down, the Beacon 2 is still reading clear.

Built without Compromise

The case is 316L stainless steel, treated with genuine Diamond Like Carbon plating — one of the hardest surface treatments available, measured in the thousands on the Vickers hardness scale. It resists scratching, corrosion and daily abuse without sacrificing the razor-sharp edges and stealth-black finish that make the Beacon 2 impossible to ignore.

Day to Night

This is not a watch that gets left on the bedside table when the occasion calls for something sharper. The Beacon 2 transitions — from weekend drives and outdoor pursuits to dinner reservations and city nights — without missing a beat. That's the point. Tough enough for anything. Refined enough for everything.
