Description
MeisterSinger Edition Route 66 Black 43mm (ED-ROUTE66)
The MeisterSinger Edition Route 66 marks one hundred years since the legendary highway officially opened in 1926. Running almost 2,500 miles from Chicago to the West Coast, Route 66 became a lifeline for travellers, holidaymakers and adventurers, and later the setting for countless films, books and songs. This edition captures that spirit of freedom and open roads in a single-hand watch.
The two-layer dial takes its cue from the distinctive wheels of the Ford Mustang. On the lower level, a matte black surface is engraved with fine concentric circles, while the upper level carries six bold silver-white spokes that create remarkable depth. The MeisterSinger logo sits on an applied oval plaque, and the historic Route 66 emblem is placed in the lower part of the dial.
The black and red colour scheme runs throughout. A white single hand with a red tip provides a vivid accent as it moves around the dial, and the double-digit hour numerals are arranged in a circular formation that gives the display its own individual character while remaining true to MeisterSinger’s legibility.
The foundation is the iconic MeisterSinger No.03 case, with its clean, architectural lines and confident 43 mm diameter. At 10.5 mm high and water-resistant to 5 bar, it provides a strong stage for the intricately constructed dial. On the reverse, the exhibition caseback features a semi-transparent print of the historic Route 66 shield and is engraved with the watch’s consecutive edition number.
Inside runs the Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic, modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand display, with a power reserve of around 38 hours. The watch is fitted to a vintage saddle leather strap with a stainless steel buckle, adding a well-travelled, road-trip feel.
The Edition Route 66 continues MeisterSinger’s series of special editions that pair a single-hand watch with an automotive icon. Limited to 100 pieces, it is delivered with a highly detailed 1:18 scale model car in an elaborately designed presentation box depicting Route 66 and its desert landscape, creating a display piece for both the watch and the Mustang.
