Mühle-Glashütte 29er Big Small Second Edition 1994 M1-25-82-1994-CB

The Mühle-Glashütte 29er Big Small Second Edition 1994 is the most unexpected watch in the anniversary series — and the one that tells you the most about where Mühle is heading. The 29er has never had a small seconds complication. The Teutonia II has. By bringing the small seconds sub-dial into the 29er Big platform for the first time, Mühle is crossing the boundary between their nautical-sporty collection and their classical dress line — and the result is a watch that doesn't belong neatly in either category. That's exactly what makes it special.

The anthracite dial with anniversary-blue flange is the most sophisticated colour combination in the Edition 1994 series. Where the Bronze edition used Mühle blue across the full dial and the S.A.R. edition placed it on the bezel and strap, this model uses a muted anthracite face with the blue confined to the flange — the outer ring that carries the minute scale. The effect is subtler and more refined: a dark, almost industrial grey anchoring the dial, with a band of anniversary blue framing it. Applied indices and Super-LumiNova hands and markers ensure readability across all conditions, and the small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock adds the classical complication that distinguishes this edition from every other 29er Big in existence.

The SW 261-1 in the Mühle version — a calibre purpose-built for small seconds complications — features the patented woodpecker neck regulation, anniversary rotor, blued screws, and Glashütte solarisation finishing, all visible through the exhibition caseback. Quick-release spring bars on the Mühle blue canvas strap allow tool-free swapping. Limited to 155 pieces worldwide, this is the first — and may be the only — time a small seconds complication appears in the 29er collection.

Key Features

• Small seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock — The first and only small seconds complication in the 29er collection. The dedicated sub-dial places the seconds display off-centre, creating a more classical, balanced dial layout than a central sweep second. Previously this complication was exclusive to the Teutonia II — the Edition 1994 brings it into the nautical-sporty 29er Big for the first time
• Anthracite dial with anniversary-blue flange — The anthracite face is muted and industrial — darker than silver, warmer than black. The Mühle blue flange (outer ring carrying the minute scale) frames the dial in the anniversary colour without dominating it. The result is the most tonally sophisticated dial in the Edition 1994 series
• SW 261-1, Mühle Version — A Sellita calibre purpose-built for small seconds complications, refined in Glashütte with the patented woodpecker neck regulation, anniversary rotor, blued screws, Glashütte solarisation, and perlage finishing
• Patented woodpecker neck regulation — Originally developed for the S.A.R. Rescue-Timer in 2003, the shock-resistant regulation locks the regulator arm in two axes simultaneously. Now standard across every Mühle movement
• Quick-release spring bars — The 22mm Mühle blue canvas strap can be swapped in seconds without tools. Compatible with any standard 22mm strap — canvas, leather, rubber, or bracelet — allowing the watch to shift between casual and dressy contexts
• Anniversary rotor — The automatic rotor carries the Edition 1994 logo, visible through the exhibition caseback. A collector's detail that connects this release to the broader commemorative series

Technical Specifications

The Edition 1994 Story

• A complication crosses collections — The small seconds display has been exclusive to the Teutonia II since its introduction. By placing it inside the nautical-sporty 29er Big for the Edition 1994, Mühle bridges its two most important watch families — classical dress and maritime sport — in a single limited-edition release. It's a signal of where the brand is willing to go when the occasion justifies it
• Three Edition 1994 watches, three approaches to Mühle blue — The 29er Big Bronze puts blue on the full dial. The S.A.R. Rescue-Timer puts blue on the bezel and strap. This Small Second puts blue on the flange only — the most restrained application, letting the anthracite dial set the mood while the anniversary colour frames it. Each release interprets the signature colour differently
• 155 pieces, 155 years — One for every year of the Mühle family's entrepreneurial presence in Glashütte since Robert Mühle's 1869 founding. The Edition 1994 marks the 30th anniversary of the company's refounding by Hans-Jürgen Mühle after German reunification
• A new calibre for the 29er — The SW 261-1 is purpose-built for small seconds complications. Its appearance in the 29er Big is a first — the collection has previously used only the SW 200-1 (standard) and SW 221-1 (pointer date). This is genuine mechanical diversity, not a cosmetic variation
