A retro-inspired classic gets a fresh face

The Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date from Glashütte Original celebrates a world on the move in the 1970s, where travel, self-realisation, flexibility and a return to nature became more outspoken social norms. This newly updated version is attired in elegant dark blue and is the product of painstaking craftsmanship. The dark blue of the dial is the result of an elaborate process of galvanisation. Rhodium-plated indexes and hands coated with Super- LumiNova® are mounted with great care by hand. Glashütte Original’s signature Panorama Date at 6 o’clock and the 12-hour chronograph counter below 12 o’clock are colour-matched and feature white numerals set against a blue ground. They are enhanced by a small second with power reserve display, a 30-minute counter and a central stop-second, which thanks to the flyback function can be reset to zero and restarted with a single press of the pusher.

The striking 40 mm x 40 mm stainless steel case with rounded corners is the signature feature of the Seventies line. It lends the watch a youthful, vintage look as sophisticated as it is unmistakable. Yet even though the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date has the look and feel of a child of the Seventies, the heart beating inside it is an automatic movement made by hand with a lot of love. Not only is the manufactory Calibre 37-02 equipped with a superior power reserve up to 70 hours, its highly refined finishes are also excellent examples of traditional Glashütte watchmaking, with bevelled and polished edges, polished and blued screws, and the famous Glashütte stripes finish on bridges, balance cock and a skeletonised rotor.
