From the manufacturer:
In 2006, the 29er class of sailing dinghies was adopted as an official class for the Junior Championship run by the German Sailing Association (DSV). This also marked the launch of the 29er wristwatch, which sailed its way to a podium position and has been capturing the hearts of landlubbers and seafarers alike ever since. Alongside the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer and Teutonia, the 29er family is one of the top three ranges of wristwatches manufactured by Nautische Instrumente Mühle-Glashütte.
With its silver-grey dial and anthracite-coloured flange, the new 29er Big perfectly complements the design that was introduced to the family by a new model launched on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. Like the 29er Zeigerdatum, the new 29er Big is the latest model and, indeed, the first of the original models of the successful family to boast a two-tone dial.
And this isn’t where the shared features stop: the face of the 29er Big also contains the same applied indices and typical red second hand and is reduced down to the essentials when it comes to its design. The minute graduation, small second numerals and luminescent hour markers are all located on the flange, meaning that the dial itself only displays the applied indices and the date. This well- thought-out design gives this new Mühle watch a clarity like no other.
As is characteristic of the 29er models, the case of the new 29er Big is also straightforward yet striking. It therefore upholds the reputation of what has been one of the most stunning outfits in the wardrobe of Mühle movements ever since 2006. The combination of contrasting surface finishes is very charming and completes the attractive appearance, with the bezel alone featuring both a brushed top surface and finely polished sides. The middle section of the case has a vertical finish and is stunningly framed by the bezel and the screwed-on back, the sides of which are also perfectly polished. This alternation between polished and matt surfaces creates an array of different light reflections, just like the sun sparkling in the waves, and makes the case of the 29er a true eye-catcher.
In line with its nautical inspiration, the case is water-resistant to 10 bars, offering excellent protection for the reliable SW 200-1 Mühle version movement on the inside. The automatic movement comes equipped with the company’s very own rotor and its particularly shockproof woodpecker neck regulation. These impressive components allow it to be regulated in six different positions and set to ensure accuracy values of between 0 and a maximum of +8 seconds per day. This precision target forms the heart of Mühle’s own regulation standards, which comply with the German chronometer standard, and helps to ensure that the watch never runs slow. After all, no wearer of a Mühle watch should ever miss the boat because of their time measuring instrument.
The new 29er Big is a worthy champion of the three nautical virtues: precision, reliability and excellent readability. These strong nautical connections are also reflected in its family name, which pays tribute to the “29er”, a small sailing dinghy in which young sailing talents take to the seas in the Junior Championship run by the German Sailing Association (DSV).
