Glashütte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition 2023
Inspired by the 1960s trends, the new Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition 2023 by German watch manufacturer Glashütte Original boasts a finely embossed, stone-grey varnished dial with a dégradé effect.
The watch has a round stainless steel case measuring 42 mm. The shimmering grey in the centre fades into a darker tone towards the outside, creating a fascinating dégradé effect.
The dial is also finely embossed using original tools and methods of the time. Two white Arabic numerals are complemented by incised hour markers with luminous dots and red gold hands.
Inside the watch, the 39-34 automatic movement reliably drives the hour, minute and small-seconds displays as well as the stop-second and the 30-minute counter.
Its components are artfully decorated by hand, for example with Glashütte stripe finish, bevelled edges, polished small screws and a skeletonised oscillating weight made of 21-carat gold with the characteristic double-G symbol. Beating at 4Hz, the finely finished manufacture calibre can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. The watch is worn on a contrasting blue textile strap.
The new Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition with stone-grey dial will be available from September 2023 in Glashütte Original Boutiques worldwide and from selected retailers.
