As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

"I don't have time to set all these &%#* watches!"
Re: 2023 New and Upcoming Releases!
Second Hour Watches will be opening orders for their next model, the Sattelberg Field Watch on February 17/18.
Second Hour is not using Kickstarter this time around. They've decided to invest into production before launch so that the Sattelberg is ready to ship from day 1.
Second Hour Sattelberg Field Watch
Pricing from AUD 675 (roughly $467)
https://www.secondhour.com.au/shop/p/sattelberg
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.
Specs:
- Full 316L Stainless Steel Construction
- Class leading 1200 Vickers Surface Hardening Treatment
- Japanese made Miyota 9015 high beat automatic, 24 jewel movement
- 40mm diameter
- 47 mm lug to lug distance
- 10mm thickness including sapphire crystal
- 20mm lug opening
- Swiss SuperLuminova BGW9
- Flat Sapphire crystal with beveled edge cut
- 6 layers of internal anti reflective coating
- Etched screw down case back
- 100 meters water resistance
- Screw down, signed crown
- Artisan canvas strap with leather backing and oil sealed edges
- Custom made diamond cut hands
- Custom made contoured case
- Shipped in our hard wearing, custom made, zip up travel case
- Shipped with an additional, custom made, colour matched fabric strap
- Two year international warranty
