Glashütte Original - Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date “Disco Blue” and “Vibing Orange”

Glashütte Original is launching today the new Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date Disco Blue and Vibing Orange limited editions. Prices from €14,200

Glashütte Original is introducing today two new limited editions of its unique chronograph inspired to the design of the 1970s.

As their names suggest, the new Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date “Disco Blue” and “Vibing Orange” are characterised by bright colours typical of the 1970s, a sky blue and a lush orange that evoke sunsets, swimming pools and exotic cocktails.

The matt lacquer surface of these colourful dials make the black indices and the hands stand out clearly. The hour and minute hands, just like the indices, are filled with Super-LumiNova for improved readability in darker environments.

The indications are efficiently arranged: central stop seconds, 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o'clock, small seconds and power reserve display at 9 o'clock, 12-hour chronograph aperture at 12 o'clock and the signature Panorama Date at 6 o'clock.

The 40 mm x 40 mm square case alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces is crafted from stainless steel and water resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (approximately 100 metres / 330 feet). The total thickness, including the flat sapphire crystal, is 14.1 mm.

The screwed crown is protected by two guards that harmonise with the two push buttons: the one at 2 o'clock starting and stopping the chronograph, the other at 4 o'clock activating the flyback mechanism.

Pressing this pusher halts the on-going chronographic time measurement and the chronograph hour, minute and second hands jump back to zero starting a new measurement as soon as the flyback pusher is released.

The new models can be matched to either a matt black rubber or a stainless steel bracelet with folding clasp.

Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the self-winding chronograph movement, Calibre 37-02, is entirely manufactured in-house and meticulously finished to the highest standards. 

Equipped with column wheel and flyback mechanism, it beats at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with an autonomy of 70 hours. Thanks to the efficiency of the skeletonised rotor with 21-ct-gold oscillation weight and double-G logo, few movements of the wrist are sufficient to wind the watch.

The new Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date “Disco Blue” and “Vibing Orange” are produced in limited editions of just 100 pieces for each version with a suggested retail price of Euro 14,600 with black rubber strap or Euro 15,800 with steel bracelet. glashuette-original.com
