In September 2024, Glashütte Original unveiled the latest addition to its Spezialist Collection: the SeaQ Chronograph. This model, named “Silver Screen,” embraces a monochromatic aesthetic inspired by classic black-and-white cinema. The design showcases how simplicity can deliver a profound visual impact, appealing to both seasoned collectors and enthusiasts.
Aesthetic and Design Features
The SeaQ Chronograph exemplifies contrast with its 43.2 mm stainless steel case and unidirectional rotating bezel. The bezel, featuring a scratch-resistant black ceramic inlay, pairs seamlessly with the galvanic silver dial. This dial enhances legibility by minimizing light dispersion, much like silver screens of old. As a result, the black hands and applied indexes, coated with Super-LumiNova®, remain easily readable in various lighting conditions.
Moreover, the 30-minute counter and small seconds sub-dials feature a “vinyl” decorative finish, achieved through precise lathe-cutting techniques. The black-and-white theme is further emphasized by the Panorama Date at 6 o’clock, displaying white numerals on a black background.
Technical Specifications
The SeaQ Chronograph meets the rigorous demands of professional diving. It complies with ISO 6425 and DIN 8306 standards, ensuring water resistance up to 300 meters. Additionally, the watch includes a flyback chronograph function, allowing precise measurement of short intervals with a single push.
Glashütte Original powers the SeaQ Chronograph with its in-house Calibre 37-23 automatic movement. This movement offers a robust 70-hour power reserve and incorporates a silicon balance spring. This feature enhances resistance to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations. Furthermore, the sapphire crystal case back reveals traditional Glashütte decorations, including beveled and polished edges, blued screws, and a skeletonized rotor.
Versatility in Wear
The SeaQ Chronograph offers versatility in its design. It comes with three strap options: a black rubber strap, a stainless steel bracelet, and an orange synthetic fabric strap. These options allow wearers to adapt the watch to different occasions, whether for rugged outdoor adventures or formal events.
Conclusion
The SeaQ Chronograph “Silver Screen” by Glashütte Original combines technical precision with sophisticated design. Collectors and enthusiasts will appreciate its unique blend of historical inspiration and modern functionality. For more information, visit the official Glashütte Original website.
