Mühle-Glashütte Teutonia Sport I

With Baselworld a month away, Mühle-Glashütte has just unveiled one of their pre-show novelties—introducing the Mühle-Glashütte Teutonia Sport I. Measuring 42.6mm with a thickness of 15.5mm, it’s sized like a contemporary sports chronograph. The stainless steel case features a mix of brushed and polished surfaces topped with a bi-directional bezel and a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. To drive home the automotive theme, the case features stopwatch-like pusher buttons, with the start-stop button at two boasting a red accent ring. The dial is black and has applied indices and is bordered by a red-on-black tachymeter scale. The three sub-dials at 12, nine and six feature light-grey borders, giving them some separation from the rest of the dial. Right off four is a matching date window. The hands are broad swords, filled with Super-LumiNova at the center. Red accents are carried over to the chronograph hands on the two totalizers at 12 and six and to the central stop-second hand. Powering the watch is Mühle’s MU 9413 automatic caliber, a rebadged Sellita SW 500 with quite a bit of modification by the brand. There’s a Glashütte three-quarter plate, a custom rotor, and the brand’s patented woodpecker neck regulation. The Teutonia Sport I comes on a waterproof leather/rubber strap with a branded steel pin buckle. (wornandwound)
