Time to Move: Glashütte Original’s New SeaQ, a Dive Watch Inspired by the Manufacture’s Own History
The brand has continued to create timepieces with the iconic styles of German fine watchmaking. This year, it’s introducing a new collection for the brand, the Spezialist, a line aimed at creating fine tool and instrument timepieces. The first in the collection is the SeaQ, a diver’s watch that’s inspired by a model called the Spezimatic Type RP TS 200 from 1969.
The engraving on the caseback of the watch is of the trident of Neptune and the double G logo with waves engraved around the trident — exactly 20 waves that represent the 20 ATM water resistance of the watch. “DIN 8306” is also engraved on the case back, which correlates to the ISO 6425 standard. Three strap options are available for the SeaQ and SeaQ 1969: a rubber strap inspired by the pattern of the original watch, a woven nylon synthetic strap, exclusively made for Glashütte Original, and a newly developed bracelet, which is lighter and equipped with Glashütte Original’s ergonomic fine adjustment system.
