MeisterSinger, famous for its single-hand display, continues to iterate on its signature design. Despite the limitation of a single-hand movement, the German brand has proven to be very creative and versatile. Since 2001, MeisterSinger has pleased watch enthusiasts with calendar functions, chiming mechanisms, jumping hours, power reserves, and more, all in its own style. This month MeisterSinger is back with the Special Edition №3 watches and bright blue accents.
The MeisterSinger Special Edition №3 is available in 38mm and 43mm. Both models have a stainless steel case with polished and brushed surfaces, a classic look with a modern touch. The cases have sapphire crystal on the front and mineral glass on the back, for durability and to see the movement. The 43mm is 11.5mm thick and the 38mm is 10.5mm, so they will fit any wrist. The lug widths are 20mm and 18mm respectively.
The black dials of the Special Edition №3 watches have a 12-hour scale divided into halves, quarters and 5-minute intervals. The hours are marked with light blue double-digit double-digit numbers from 01 to 12 for better readability and a pop of color. A single long, pointed, bright white hand, MeisterSinger’s signature, will show the time once you get used to the single-hand display. The dial is balanced with the MeisterSinger logo, the series name—№3 and the automatic indication.
Reliable ETA clones from Sellita power both MeisterSinger Special Edition №3 models. The 43mm model has the SW200 movement with 38 hours of power reserve, the 38mm model has the SW300 movement with 42 hours. Both movements beat at 28,800 vibrations per hour and have custom rotors visible through the display caseback.
To match the blue accents on the dial the Special Edition №3 watches come with light blue, velvet-soft vintage saddle leather straps. These straps are not only beautiful but also comfortable to wear. MeisterSinger releases this special edition as a limited edition for $2,399.
