Panova Violet — Cognac Embossed Calf Leather

Violet is close to unheard of on a mechanical watch dial. Mühle-Glashütte put it in the Panova line anyway, and the ray-cut finish makes it behave like plum in low light and something far brighter in the sun.

Panova is the brand's lifestyle family, named from panorama plus via, the Latin word for path. Each color is paired with a single contrasting accent and built on identical hardware, so the palette is the product.

Embossed cognac calf leather against the violet dial is the warmest of the strap options and the most flattering to the color. Hands and hour markers are coated with Super-LumiNova, and there is no date. The stainless steel case measures 40.0 mm across and 10.4 mm tall, 48.2 mm lug to lug, water resistant to 10 bar, with the SW 200-1 Version Mühle automatic inside giving 41 hours of reserve and Mühle's patented woodpecker neck fine regulation.

Unusual without being difficult. The Panova Violet is for the person who already owns the blue one.

Perfect for: unusual dial color collectors, violet and purple watch seekers, cognac leather pairings.
