Glashütte Original has brought back its popular Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date, giving its latest limited edition two of the decade’s favourite colours: sunny yellow and bright turquoise
The popular Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date from Glashütte Original is back once again, in two of the decade’s favourite colours: sunny yellow and bright turquoise. The brand’s handmade timepieces are powered by an elaborately finished manufactory movement with automatic winding and flyback function.
The Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date models from Glashütte Original celebrate the retro-futuristic style of the 1970s. The latest edition – a pair of chronographs – combines the familiar round corners of the Seventies wristwatch with strong colours. While one of the dials is coated entirely with yellow varnish, the second version was first given a refined sunray finish prior to coating with a turquoise-black varnish with dégradé effect. Super-LumiNova highlights on the hour and minute hands and on the appliques ensure optimal legibility in the dark as well. A grey-brown calfskin-Nubuck leather strap rounds off the vintage look in a stylish fashion.
As laid-back as the design of this watch may be, it is an exceptionally precise timepiece. Its automatic movement, which beats at a frequency of 4Hz and features a column-wheel switch, was designed to be compact in order to ensure maximum efficiency. This permits the manufactory’s 37-02 movement to guarantee a high degree of precision, reliability and low susceptibility to interference. In addition, a bilateral winding rotor ensures a rapid delivery of energy; the power reserve is a generous 70 hours.
A special sapphire crystal case back allows one to view the manufactory movement, which presents a number of highly refined features. Among these are such characteristic elements of Glashütte watchmaking as bevelled edges, polished steel components, blued screws and the Glashütte three-quarter plate with Glashütte stripes finish, along with a skeletonised rotor with 21-carat gold oscillating mass and the brand’s signature double-G logo.
The Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date takes up the cult designs of the 1970s and gives them a contemporary look and feel. These two new models are limited to 100 pieces each, and are available worldwide from Glashütte Original Boutiques and selected authorised dealers.
