Hands-on: Glashütte Original SeaQ. New! With with a beautiful blue dial.

The first presentation of the sport diver watch was in 1969. It was a robust timepiece specially designed for divers by Glashütter Uhrenbetrieb. The historic models of this diver’s watch – a special implementation of the legendary Spezimatic – are on display in the German Watch Museum in ütte in Saxony in Germany.

The Glashütte Original SeaQ is a further development of diver’s watch “Made in Germany”. The latter stands for reliable German engineering combined with exceptional watchmaking art. The “Q” in the name SeaQ represents highest quality standard of the Glashütte Original manufactory…
