Introduced in 2007, the Sixties Panorama Date takes its inspiration from the 1960s, the 20th century’s most exciting decade to life. This collection, among others, is to be seen at the exclusive Golden Bear Lounge by Glashütte Original, located on the 1st Floor of the Grand Hyatt Berlin during the 67th edition of the Berlin International Film Festival. For the 1st time of their 6 years partnership, the German watchmaker is the Festival Principal Partner.
You see that in the applied arrowhead-style hour markers, with small lume points applied manually round the periphery of the dial. They provide excellent contrast against the blue dial – making for an extremely welcome awareness of readability in most light conditions. The hands and hour markers are created from 18ct white gold – that allows for a great polish and shields against tarnishing from the future.Even although the Glashutte Original Senator Chronometer Watch Replica Seventies is more a sporty/casual watch, the hands and hour markers are somewhat more formal in their design, albeit still simple to read. This was odd to me initially, but I came to love it. The effect is a soothing, more traditional appearance that still has a bit of “polished pizazz” to it, which melds nicely with the differently sporty case. It makes for a sexy composition, and it is an uncommon thing to mention for a timepiece with a cushion-style square instance. If there is one massive compliment which I’d love to give the Glashütte Original Seventies case is that it manages to appear sexy while also not searching typical.The steel case and bracelet have outstanding finishing, something that the newest – and, for that matter, many high quality Italian watches – is known for. The polished bezel is matched by the polished chronograph pushers and crown shield. The center of the case is finely brushed, which reduces visual stimulation and increases the game appeal. Notice the polished beveling on the case borders too, and it is a lovely touch. The bracelet is designed to integrate with the case, and it is rather complex despite the simple three-link design. Like popular favorites such as the Rolex GMT-Master II, the bracelet tapers to offer you a more visually balanced (and comfortable) fit on the wrist, while the centre link is polished being flanked by outer brushed links.
