The Evolution of a Classic: From Hamburg to Hamburg Pro
In 2020, Sternglas introduced the Hamburg Automatic. With its Bauhaus-inspired design and reliable construction, it quickly became one of the brand’s most beloved models. Now, for its 5th anniversary, the watch has been reimagined and refined: the Hamburg Pro Automatic.
Key Upgrades That Define the Hamburg Pro
The new Hamburg Pro is not just a minor update. It represents a thoughtful evolution:
-
Slimmer case: Only 9 mm in height, making it 25% thinner than the original Hamburg Automatic.
-
Refined finishing: A mix of polished and brushed surfaces creates a more elegant silhouette.
-
Improved usability: An enlarged crown makes winding and setting the time more comfortable.
-
Sapphire crystal caseback: For the first time, the Hamburg offers a view of its movement.
The Miyota 9015 – A Premium Automatic Movement
At the heart of the Hamburg Pro beats the Miyota 9015 movement.
-
High frequency: 28,800 vibrations per hour for precise timekeeping and a smooth sweep of the second hand.
-
Accuracy: Manufacturer specifications of -10 to +30 seconds per day.
-
Slim construction: Enables the Hamburg Pro’s slender 9 mm case.
-
Premium finishing: An exclusive black PVD rotor with gold Sternglas engraving adds a detail usually reserved for higher price segments.
The Miyota 9015 is widely regarded as a premium automatic movement, a step above the well-known Miyota 8215, and used by many respected watchmakers worldwide.
Two Striking Variants
-
Alabaster: A light satin dial with turquoise Luminova, paired with a stainless-steel case.
-
Dark Green Bronze: A deep green dial inside a bronze-colored PVD case, paired with beige/orange lume.
Both versions ensure excellent legibility day and night and bring a new depth to the Hamburg design.
Built for Everyday Wear – and for Decades
Crafted from 316L stainless steel, fitted with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and paired with an Italian pull-up leather strap, the Hamburg Pro is designed to last. The strap develops a natural patina over time and can be swapped easily thanks to the quick-change system.
Whether in the office, on the weekend, or on your travels, this automatic watch combines timeless Bauhaus design with practical durability.
Conclusion: The Best Hamburg Yet
The Hamburg Pro Automatic represents the most refined chapter of a five-year journey. Slimmer, more elegant, and technically upgraded, it shows how Sternglas continues to evolve its classics while staying true to its Bauhaus roots.
For those looking for a Bauhaus automatic watch with a premium movement like the Miyota 9015, the Hamburg Pro is a milestone in our vision of watchmaking.
