Panova Lime — Lime Green Dial / Cognac Embossed Calf Leather

Lime green is not a color most German watchmakers would risk. The Panova Lime is Mühle-Glashütte's argument that a dial can be cheerful without being a novelty.

The Panova is the company's lifestyle line, named by joining panorama to via, the Latin word for path. Each color is built on the same case and the same movement, so the color is the product: a finely ray-cut dial that shifts through its range as light crosses it, with a single contrasting accent.

Embossed cognac calf leather is the warmest strap offered against the lime, and the tan tempers the citrus rather than fighting it. Hands and hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova. Stainless steel case, 40.0 mm across, 10.4 mm tall, 48.2 mm lug to lug, water resistant to 10 bar, with no date to break the dial. The SW 200-1 Version Mühle automatic runs 41 hours, fitted with Mühle's patented woodpecker neck fine regulation and stop-seconds.

Bright without being childish, and small enough to wear all week. A watch in a good mood.

Perfect for: bright dial watch buyers, green watch collectors, cognac leather strap pairings.
