Since their debut in 2007 the Sixties models from Glashütte Original have proven very popular, and not only with fans of "vintage" trends.
This year, Glashütte added two timepieces in shimmering midnight blue to the successful collection: the Sixties and the Sixties Panorama Date
The Sixties Panorama Date
The domed German silver dials are galvanised in Glashütte Original's own dial manufactory and given a sunburst finish. Stylised Arabic numerals appear at hours 3, 6, 9 and 12 within a finely drawn white minute ring. Lightly curved hour and minute hands in white gold with superluminova highlighting and an elegant seconds hand assure that the time remains perfectly legible at all hours.
The 42 mm case is in stainless steel. The white numerals of the characteristic Glashütte Original Panorama Date display appear on a blue ground that is perfectly matched with the colour of the dial.
First presented in the Sixties collection, the specially formed sapphire crystal case back permits enhanced views of the Calibre 39-47, which features a 40 hour power reserve.
Characteristic features of Glashütte watchmaking present here are the bevelled edges, polished steel components, a swan neck fine adjustment, Glashütte three-quarter plate with Glashütte ribbing and a skeletonized rotor with oscillating mass in 21-carat gold.
The dark blue bracelet is in Louisiana alligator leather. It is held in place on the wrist by a pin buckle in mat stainless steel.
