Panova Grey — Blue and White and Orange Textile

A blue, white and orange textile strap under a gray dial is the sort of decision that makes a watch feel like a holiday. The Panova Grey takes it well, because gray absorbs anything.

Mühle-Glashütte pitches the Panova as an everyday watch that doubles as a vacation watch, built around what the company calls a watch-life balance. Its name joins panorama to the Latin via, path, and the family is defined by ray-cut dials and swappable straps.

The gray dial here is neutral ground for a strap that is anything but, the fabric running 20 mm wide on a steel pin buckle. Super-LumiNova on hands and hour markers, central seconds, no date. The stainless steel case is 40.0 mm across and 10.4 mm tall, 48.2 mm lug to lug, water resistant to 10 bar, powered by the SW 200-1 Version Mühle automatic with 41 hours of reserve and hacking seconds.

Light, casual and heat-proof. Swap back to leather when the weather turns.

Perfect for: textile strap watches, travel and vacation watches, casual gray dial automatics.
