Teutonia II Medium — Midnight Blue Dial / Cognac Croc-Embossed Calf Leather

Midnight blue, ray-cut, on cognac leather. The Teutonia II Medium is the warmest-looking watch in an otherwise silver-dialed family.

Mühle-Glashütte is direct about what 34 mm is for. It calls the size a good compromise between maximum readability and the smallest possible dimensions for a more delicate wrist, and adds that its somewhat more delicate watches are not there solely for decoration. A size option, in other words, not a separate category.

The steel case is 34.0 mm across, 11.7 mm high and 44.3 mm lug to lug, with the hand-applied polished indices and volute-shaped lugs of the Teutonia II family. The dial is cut in fine rays from the center, so the blue swings from near-black to bright as the wrist turns. Bright nickel-plated hands, central seconds, date at 6 o'clock. Inside, the SW 200-1, Version Mühle automatic carries Mühle's patented woodpecker neck regulation and stop-seconds, with 41 hours of reserve visible through the exhibition caseback. Cognac croc-embossed calfskin on an 18 mm steel folding clasp, anti-reflective sapphire, 10 bar.

Small, mechanical and legible, proportioned for wrists that larger watches overhang.

Perfect for: 34 mm automatic watch buyers, blue dial and cognac leather pairings, small wrist mechanical watches.
