When it comes to dial colours, there are two trends becoming very apparent. The first is pastel shades. From light pinks to sky blues, these colours are appearing everywhere in the industry right now. The other is green, a colour that dominated LVMH 2024 Watch Week.
Now with the Inhorgenta showcase beginning this weekend, Mühle Glashütte is joining the ranks having launched their own line-up of colourful watch dials. Celebrating the upcoming seasons of spring and summer, they have introduced a duo of 29er watches with dials in mint green and apricot. Alongside these, there’s also a new Teutonia II GMT watch with a sporty green display.

German watchmaker Mühle Glashütte is celebrating two rather important anniversaries this year as the family-owned company marks 30 years in business under the name Nautische Instrumente Mühle-Glashütte and 155 years of long-standing tradition in the German town of Glashütte. The new Mühle Glashütte Teutonia II GMT Green watch has been launched in honour of these occasions, adding GMT complication to their popular sports watch.

The Teutonia II GMT is designed with business trips and vacations in mind, showcasing a sleek fourth lime green GMT hand and raised 24-hour scale to the dial. The dial is finished in a gorgeous emerald green with sunray brushed finishing interrupted by a stripe across the middle. The display is set with three further silvered hands for the hours, minutes and seconds and hand-applied roof-shaped indices.

Other than its new dial colour and 24 hour complication, the Mühle Glashütte Teutonia II GMT Green watch maintains all the familiar specs of the German brand’s Teutonia series. It arrives with a perfectly round 41mm wide stainless steel case with sporty, volute-shaped lugs and a polished fixed bezel. There’s also a water resistance of 100 metres, sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment and a screw in crown.
Housed inside is Mühle’s version of the SW 330-2 automatic winding movement. It is equipped with their own rotor and shockproof woodpecker neck regulation. The movement has been regulated in six different positions and set to ensure an accuracy of between 0 and +8 seconds per day.

The Mühle Glashütte 29er also welcomes some new dial colours for Inhorgenta 2024, this time two shades feeling very much suited to the upcoming season of spring. The novelties arrive in fashionable mint green or apricot opting for light and playful pastel shades – something that is doing very well right now in the watch world.

The dials sit at the centre of 36.6mm stainless steel cases with screw-in crowns, sapphire crystal glass with anti-reflective treatment and 100 metre water resistant ratings. The apricot reference harmonises with a sand-coloured canvas strap and a dark brown leather band while the mint green model elects a slightly lighter tan leather strap or a black canvas band. Both can also be ordered on a three-row link steel bracelet. All straps are easy to swap over thanks to Mühle Glashütte’s practical quick-release springs.

The dials are kept simple and legible, showcasing classic applied stick indices, baton hands for the hours and minutes and a bright red seconds hand. A date window is also included at 3 o’clock. Powering the functions is the SW 200-1 automatic winding movement with Mühle’s shockproof woodpecker neck fine regulation and a 41-hour power reserve.
