Glashütte Original Goes Groovy with Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
“Water Melon” and “Swimming Pool”: Glashütte Original presents two limited editions of its Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date with bold dial colors that recall the groovy decade it is named after. Both watch faces feature a velvety finish, which highlights the brilliance of the bold hues. For the first time, black rings accentuate the grooved sub dials, providing contrast and visually distinguishing them from the dials.
The digital 12-hour counter and the characteristic Panorama Date, here in white on black, are harmoniously integrated into the layout of the luminescent dials. Also aboard is a power reserve indicator which is a part of the small seconds sub-dial at 9 o’clock.
The Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date editions are presented in an eye-catching square and streamlined steel case with a diameter of 40mm x 40mm reflecting the daring looks of the eponymous decade. Water resistant to 100 meters, it is distinguished by softly rounded corners and polished and satin-brushed surfaces.
Ticking inside this elegant retro chronograph is Glashütte Original’s own self-winding Calibre 37-02, crafted, decorated and regulated by hand in the brand’s own workshops. It features up to 70 hours of power reserve and is finished to the high standards of Saxon high horology. The entire movement is enhanced by traditional Glashütte finishing: the edges are beveled and polished, the tiny screws are polished and blued. The characteristic three-quarter plate, balance cock and skeletonized rotor are adorned with the refined Glashütte stripe finish.
Two straps are available for this striking pair, which is limited to 100 pieces each: either stainless steel or robust rubber which appear to flow seamlessly into the case. Pricing is marked at $16,000 respectively $14,800.
