29er Chronograph — Black Dial / Stone Gray Canvas

Some watches are chosen, some are simply reached for. A black dial on stone gray canvas puts the 29er Chronograph firmly in the second category, which is a compliment.

The 29er family from Mühle-Glashütte began in 2006 and takes its name from the 29er sailing dinghy, the class that feeds the Olympic 49er. Sporty-classic proportions, applied indices, luminous hands and no rotating bezel run right through the range. The chronograph adds the MU 9413, Mühle's own caliber, built on a Swiss base and reworked in Glashütte, where its three-quarter plate, blued screws and sunburst finishing are applied. It stores 62 hours.

Here the black dial is fitted with Super-LumiNova on the applied markers and hands, small seconds, and the date at four o'clock. The stainless steel case measures 42.4 mm in diameter, 14.2 mm high and 49 mm lug to lug, on 22 mm stone gray canvas with a steel pin buckle, 122 grams complete. Anti-reflective sapphire above, exhibition sapphire below, 10 bar with the crown screwed down.

Neutral in color and unshowy in manner. It goes with everything and asks nothing.

Perfect for: neutral-toned chronograph buyers, black dial sports watches, gray canvas strap fans.
