Hamburg Chrono Edition Küste – Elegance Meets Coastal Vibes

Meet the latest addition to the Hamburg Chrono lineup: the Edition Küste. Designed for those who appreciate clean, timeless aesthetics with a maritime edge, this variant stands out with its deep blue dial – an homage to our celebrated Coast Editions and a nod to northern seafaring heritage.

The stainless steel case, featuring a polished and brushed finish, balances rugged durability with understated sophistication, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Bold orange accents on the chronograph hands and the stitching of the exclusive Coast Edition strap add a splash of energy to the design. And with the quick-release system, swapping out the strap for a fresh look is a breeze – no tools required.

Worry-free thanks to sapphire crystal

We only use sapphire crystal for our timepieces. This type of watch glass is usually found in the luxury watch market.

For a perfect view of the dial, we apply a double anti-reflective coating to the sapphire crystal.

What exactly is sapphire crystal?

Sapphire is the third hardest transparent material in the world - after diamond and moissanite.

Curved sapphire crystal not only looks good, it makes the durable watch crystal even more resistant.

This makes it virtually impossible for your sapphire crystal watch to get scratched in everyday life.

Keeping time in focus: The Hamburg Chrono

The start and stop function is intuitively operated via both pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock. The upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph hand, while the lower one resets it back to 12 o'clock – just like a mechanical chronograph.

During the stop process, the left subdial displays the elapsed minutes, while the right subdial serves as a 24-hour indicator to keep track of the day. Inside the chronograph, the Seiko VK64 Mecha-Quartz movement ensures precise timekeeping and a smooth sweeping seconds hand. The mechanically driven chronograph hand takes five steps per second, moving significantly smoother than the typical second tick of a classic quartz watch. Thanks to this movement, the date window is also bigger.

The design of the chronograph follows the Bauhaus principle of "form follows function": The pusher at 2 o'clock shares the same distinctive color as the large chronograph hand and the left subdial (stop minute), emphasizing their connection.

Edition engraving "Eissturmvogel" on the case back

On the reverse, the caseback engraving tells a story of endurance and freedom: the “Eissturmvogel” (Northern Fulmar), a seabird native to the North Sea, is depicted in intricate detail. This majestic bird is a symbol of resilience and a tribute to the raw beauty of coastal landscapes.

Every detail of the Hamburg Chrono Edition Küste is crafted to deliver more than just precise timekeeping. It’s a statement piece for the modern watch enthusiasts – refined, adventurous, and effortlessly cool.

Wrist-bound navigation

They go by various names – Yachttimer, Regatta-Timer, Yacht-Chronographs, or Sailing Watches – and they inspired our new STERNGLAS Hamburg Chrono. But why are they so vital?

A brief primer on sailing watches: A Regatta-Timer is a timepiece equipped with a countdown function, specifically designed for regattas. Once set, it displays the remaining time until the race begins.

Yet, a chronograph serves purposes beyond this, aiding in tactical maneuvers, decision-making, or timing between waypoints.

It's a motivator, a witness to success, and a crucial instrument in watersports.

What our customers say about us

Why we make Bauhaus watches?

In your search for a classic and durable watch, you are faced with 2 alternatives today:

1. you can buy a watch from a luxury manufacturer for a very high price, or
2. a watch from a trendy brand whose quality is as short-lived as the trend that made the brand popular.

Seiko TMI VK64 Mecha-Quartz Movement

A very special movement beats inside the Hamburg Chrono: the Seiko Mecha-Quartz VK64. This remarkable quartz chronograph movement impresses with its tactile feel and the smooth, fast movement of the hands.

The pushers of the movement offer a clearly defined pressure feeling and the central chronograph hand ticks in fine 1/5-second increments.

The highlight is the 2-point hammer system. After pressing the reset button, all chronograph hands return to zero immediately and synchronised - just like a mechanical chronograph. Thanks to this movement, the date window is also larger.

After 60 minutes have elapsed, the chronograph hand stops again.

Vintage leather, SuperSlim metal bracelet, or nylon strap?

The velvety interchangeable strap in Mocha made from Italian vintage leather stands out with its distinctive cut edge and two-tone 'pull-up effect'.

External influences allow the leather to mature over time, creating the unique vintage look.

Crafted with great care by our German partner leather workshop.

Alternatively, choose from the innovative SuperSlim bracelet made from stainless steel or the snug nylon band, perfect for summer.

Easy strap change without tools

Thanks to the quick-change system, you can give your timepiece a new look in just 10 seconds:

1 — Slide the pin of the spring bar inwards.

2 — Pull the strap off the watch.

3 — Put on a new strap by sliding the pin inwards again and inserting the spring bar one after the other into the holes in the case.

We are happy to check if your desired watch can be ordered with an alternative strap. Simply send an e-mail to support@sternglas.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

How long does the battery last?

Did you know that ...

... the Northern Fulmar is such a skilled flyer that it effortlessly glides over waves even during the strongest storms? Its wings are perfectly adapted to the harsh conditions of the open ocean.

This remarkable bird often lives hundreds of kilometers from shore, spending months without ever touching solid ground.

It only returns to land during the breeding season, spending the rest of its life on the high seas.
