Pangaea Day Date – white

A white dial is usually the safe choice. This one is not, quite. The 365 dial style gives the white Pangaea Day Date antique decorative lettering and a hand designed for it alone, so a familiar face picks up an old-world accent.

What has never changed on this model is the calendar. MeisterSinger prints day and date on two fully open concentric rings that turn in the middle of the dial, indexed by a small red arrow at 12 o'clock, with no aperture anywhere. The wearer reads today in context, with the days either side of it still on show. Time comes from one long needle hand against a five-minute scale.

White gives the decorated 365 numerals maximum contrast, and the cognac strap on 20 mm lugs stops the whole thing from turning clinical. The case is 40 mm stainless steel, water resistant to 5 bar, with a domed sapphire crystal, an exhibition caseback and a Sellita SW220 automatic driving hand and rings alike.

Crisp in daylight, легко under a cuff, and the brightest reading of the Pangaea Day Date on offer.

Perfect for: white dial watch shoppers, buyers who like decorative dial typography, anyone starting a single-hand watch collection.
