MeisterSinger Edition Johann Strauss Pangaea Dark Blue 40mm (ED-PMN-STRAUSS)
The MeisterSinger Edition Johann Strauss Pangaea is the larger of two limited editions created to mark the 200th birthday of Johann Strauss in 2025. As a composer, conductor and virtuoso, Strauss shaped the cultural identity of the 19th century, and his name remains inseparable from the Viennese waltz.
His best-known composition, The Blue Danube, is the inspiration for the dial. A deep, dark blue surface is worked with a fine, wave-like structure that suggests the current of the great river, creating gentle highlights and shadows as the watch moves. The darker tone gives the Pangaea version a more formal, evening-ready character.
Positioned above the 06 is a silver-coloured portrait of the composer, subtle but clearly identifiable. The hour numerals are applied in silver as well, adding a layered, three-dimensional quality to the dial and contrasting crisply with the dark blue base as the single hand moves across them.
The slender stainless steel Pangaea case measures 40 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm in height, with a domed sapphire crystal and water resistance to 5 bar. Its sixfold screwed mineral glass exhibition back reveals the movement and is decorated with a detailed engraving of Strauss’s likeness, his flowing signature and the edition number.
Beneath the engraving, the Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic, modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand display, keeps the watch running with a power reserve of about 38 hours.
Limited to 125 pieces, the Edition Johann Strauss Pangaea is presented in dedicated packaging featuring a portrait of Strauss and an embossed design. It offers a slightly bolder, 40 mm alternative to the Neo edition for collectors who want a lasting reminder of one of music’s most celebrated figures.
