Glashütte Original SeaQ – Germany’s coolest dive watch

Glashütte Original Sixties

When taking a careful look at the brand’s other green dials, you will see that there is more to these than just a different colour. Glashütte Original wouldn’t be the brand we know and love, if they wouldn’t do things wholeheartedly.

Incredibly rich colour

This is why every one of their green dials is completely different to one another. For example the dial of the green Sixties model features an incredibly rich colour. Also, a unique texture is achieved by a 60-ton press that creates a finely textured surface pattern.

For the SeaQ, the brand decided to go for a very subtle hue of green that can change from black to green. This depends on how the light hits it. This time however, the brand did not just change the colour of the dial, but also the diving bezel as well. They perfectly colour coordinated to emit the same kind of green.

Glashütte Original’s understated luxury timepieces

Choosing such an understated colour is a perfect choice in my opinion, as a vintage inspired dive watch is usually not designed to be flashy, yet a subtle hint of colour can make it significantly more interesting to many of us. Furthermore the touch of colour will set it apart from a nice suit or casual outfit .

Nonetheless, even with the green dial the watch remains an understated luxury timepiece that can be worn from the office to the beach without ever looking out of place or drawing unwanted attention, all while being one of the most interesting pieces at your next get together.

The green version of the SeaQ however is not the only new watch the brand has added to their collection, but an additional steel and gold model with a gorgeous blue dial is among their 2021 novelties. While the brand has shown us a mouth watering grey dial with bi-colour case for the SeaQ Panorama Date in 2020, the bi-colour SeaQ completes the collection of luxurious high-end dive watches. These two pieces amplify the luxurious approach of the collection even further and offer beautiful contrast to the steel case and respective colours of the dials.

A bolder presence

Steel and gold watches are certainly bolder than the standard steel model, but offer that hue of luxury while still fitting perfectly into the vintage inspired design of the SeaQ collection. Obviously you will see quite a difference between the SeaQ and the SeaQ Panorama Date, but given that the latter is nearly 3mm larger in diameter it offers a bolder presence on the wrist which many collectors enjoy.

For me personally the SeaQ at 39.5mm is the perfect choice, as my smaller wrist circumference drives me towards smaller watches. Luckily, the green dial and bezel have been added to the SeaQ, which I can most certainly wear without any size issues.
