Panova Turquoise Blue — Gray Calf Leather

Mühle has made precision instruments in Glashütte since 1869, which is a long run-up to a turquoise dial. The Panova is where Mühle-Glashütte allows itself some color.

The line is the most approachable thing the brand makes, named by joining panorama to via, the Latin word for path. Every version shares one case, one movement and one set of proportions, so the dial color and the strap are the entire decision.

Gray calf leather is the quietest option offered, and against the Panova Turquoise Blue dial it acts as a frame rather than a partner. The dial is finely ray-cut and moves through its range as the light changes, Super-LumiNova sits on the hands and hour markers, and there is no date. Stainless steel, 40.0 mm wide, 10.4 mm tall, 48.2 mm lug to lug, 10 bar. SW 200-1 Version Mühle automatic, 41 hours, hacking seconds.

A bright dial handled with restraint. Easy to wear with almost anything.

Perfect for: understated color watches, gray strap pairings, 40 mm automatic buyers.
