MeisterSinger No.03 38mm Turquoise (S-BM9928)
The MeisterSinger No.03 38mm Turquoise takes one of the brand’s most recognisable designs and gives it a fresh, saturated colour. As the automatic sister of the original MeisterSinger No.01, the No.03 carries all of the details that still define the collection today: continuous double-digit hour numerals from 01 to 12, a line structure running around the outer edge and a fine, needle-shaped hour hand. Very little could be removed from this layout without losing something essential, and that restraint is exactly what has made it a reference point for single-hand watches.
The turquoise dial is the focus of this special model. Rather than a flat print, the colour is finished with an elaborate transparent lacquer that builds genuine depth and brilliance into the surface. Under soft indoor light it reads as a calm, cool blue-green, while direct sunlight brings out a brighter, almost glassy quality. The effect changes constantly with the angle of view, so the dial never looks quite the same twice.
Reading the time follows the classic MeisterSinger principle. Each line on the outer scale represents five minutes, which means the single hand acts as both hour and minute indicator. A hierarchy of longer and shorter strokes separates the half and quarter hours, making it straightforward to read the time to within a few minutes at a glance while encouraging a more relaxed relationship with the passing day.
The stainless steel case measures 38 mm in diameter and 10.5 mm in height, with 18 mm lugs that suit a wide range of wrists. A domed sapphire crystal protects the dial and catches the light around its edge, while the case is water-resistant to 5 bar for everyday wear. On the reverse, a sixfold screwed mineral glass exhibition caseback opens up a view of the movement.
Inside is the Swiss Sellita SW300 automatic calibre, specially modified for MeisterSinger’s single-hand display. Its rotor winds the mainspring with natural wrist movement and supplies a power reserve of around 42 hours. Automatic winding is the key distinction between the No.03 and the hand-wound No.01, giving the design the convenience of a self-winding movement without changing its character.
The No.03 has long since become an icon of the brand and has received the Good Design Award for its overall concept. In 38 mm with a turquoise lacquered dial, it offers a lighter, more expressive alternative to the classic ivory and blue versions while keeping every hallmark that collectors associate with MeisterSinger.
