With the WatchGecko Magazine team currently in Germany for INHORGENTA’s 50th anniversary show, we were especially excited by yet another new release from Mühle Glashütte. We were lucky enough to have hands-on time with the Sportivo range on launch day and we can assure you, seeing the brand’s array of timepieces up close and personal is made all the more thrilling when you know you’re among the first to catch a glimpse of a fresh, new release.

With Mühle Glashütte’s brand-new range of sports watches, aptly named the Sportivo, the brand ensure watch wearers need not face the age-old conundrum of choosing between a formal or sporty casual look. Elite in quality but accessible for even those who don’t consider themselves to be extreme athletes, the Compass Date, Travel GMT, and Active Chronograph models are designed to be everyday companions no matter what your prerogative is. From business meetings at the office, to the bar after work or the gym and more outdoorsy pasttimes, the Sportivo range is there to go where you do.

Combining functionality with sophisticated athletic charm and inspired by the Italian word for “sporty”, the Sportivo range brings together the best of both worlds. Recognising that not every watch wearer has the athletic abilities of Lionel Messi or Usain Bolt, the Sportivo is built to support its wearers in mastering more everyday sport disciplines. Reflecting the Mühle Glashütte virtues of good readability, high robustness and precision, these timepieces are the epitome of sporting style.

The Sportivo Active Chronograph
Of the three models in the Sportivo collection, the Active Chronograph is geared towards achieving top performance, both in terms of its sporty aesthetic and technical capabilities. Time measurement up to 30 minutes can be achieved with a press of the polished button at the 2 o’clock position which activates the chronograph function. Ideal for intense interval workouts, stop times and the current time are extremely precise thanks to the reliable MU 9419 chronograph movement.

The movement is fitted with Mühle’s own three-quarter plate, a Glashütte click, removable escape wheel bridge and the efficient Mühle motor and can be admired through the sapphire crystal panel in the case.
The Sportivo Compass Date
A perfect adventure companion for the outdoors, the Sportivo Compass Date features a bidirectional compass bezel making it a must-have for long trekking tours. Wearers of this intelligent timepiece can find their way at a glance, even when mobile app technology and 4G fail. Simply hold the watch horizontally, point its hour hand at the sun and perfect orientation is right there on your wrist.

In a stainless-steel case with 2.2mm thick double anti-glare sapphire crystal and a scratch resistant-ceramic bezel inlay, this outdoor watch is more than capable of coping with the elements. Its 42.5mmm case and screw-in crown with side protection offer watertightness up to 30 bars and with a generous coating of luminous material, the hands, indices, and hour numerals are supremely readable, from day to night. Whatever the weather, the Sportivo Compass Date ensures wearer and watch stay safe and sound.
The Sportivo Travel GMT
Pointing to a raised ring with a 24-hour scale, the simple arrow hand on the Sportivo Travel GMT marks the second time zone for wearers keen to keep track of the time back home whilst surveying far-off lands. Favouring enhanced readability over flair, Mühle Glashütte have refrained from adding extra texture to the black dial of the Sportivo Travel GMT and have instead kept it simple, sophisticated, and uncluttered with contrasting elements in light blue stand out against the smooth black background.
Offering new and exciting highlights at every glance, the Sportivo Travel GMT is just like the trip of a lifetime it promises to take you on.

The Sportivo range perfectly combines lifestyle-oriented design with the functional watchmaking tactics that Mühle Glashütte are renowned for. Each of the new models are now available from Mühle Glashütte and selected retailers.
