Glashütte Original’s Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date, five years ago, inspired by the 1970s and designed with contemporary lines, is ready to be carried to the wrists with its two limited edition versions with a pair of different dial colors.
Glashütte Original is located in the center of Glashütte, near the Ore Mountains of Saxony, as every watch enthusiast knows German watches and watchmaking. The town lived on by mining for hundreds of years and formed accordingly. Large forests, rich green meadows, steep rocky ledges, moss-covered stones, and countless tin and silver mines surround Glashütte Original’s workshop. Therefore, green and gray are two sharp colors that are in the lives of everyone living in the town.
The new limited versions of the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date are also inspired by this impressive natural landscape. The dial workshop, part of the brand and located in Pforzheim, did an excellent job with the new gray and green dials. While creating new dials, the workshop continued to use the gradual effect, which was widely used towards the end of the sixties, darkening from the center to the edges.
The first step in creating gradually colored dials is the use of rotating brass brushes. After the dials are galvanized, green/gray lacquer is applied in various passes. Subsequently, the black varnish is applied carefully from various angles using a hand spray gun. This last step ensures that each watch has its unique color flow. Then, the polished dials are put into the oven.
Limited to only 100 units, the models feature an extremely charismatic appearance with central stop-seconds, Flyback movement with 30 minutes and 12 hours counter, small seconds, power reserve and a “Panorama Date” display. The rhodium-plated bar indexes are in complete harmony with the dial.
The models that come with 40mm diameter stainless steel cases are equipped with fully manufacture Caliber 37-02 movement. The movement offers a power reserve of 70 hours and can be enjoyed through the sapphire crystal display case back.
The new gray-brown calf leather nubuck strap complements the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date Limited Edition watches.
