Founded in 1845 in Glashütte, a town in the eastern German state of Saxony, GLASHÜTTE ORIGINAL is a luxury watch brand that has continued to produce watches without interruption, even through numerous hardships, inheriting tradition while continuing to evolve with innovative designs. Named after a world-renowned watchmaking center, the brand still produces 95% of its movement parts in-house and continues to make watches in a traditional style, with all finishing done by hand. This time, we will focus on Glashütte Original, a brand packed with German watchmaking technology, and introduce their diver's watch, "SeaQ".

The robust and reliable diver's watch "SeaQ"

Glashütte Original is known for its distinctive collections, such as the "Pano Collection" with its off-center dial and large date window, characteristic of German watches, as well as the classic "Senator." The "SeaQ" is positioned as the brand's diver's watch.

The predecessor to "SeaQ" was a collection named "Specialist." This name was chosen because of its history since the 19th century, where it has been widely used in specialized fields as a reliable navigational instrument and as a tool for determining one's position on land, at sea, and in the air.

The 2022 new model features a chronograph for the first time!

The SeaQ Chronograph, Glashütte Original's first chronograph-equipped diver's watch, was unveiled as a new product for 2022. During its development, four elements were prioritized: high precision, robustness, ease of use, and beauty. Concept models were created based on these principles, and the final product was a highly reliable flyback chronograph.

The "SeaQ Chronograph" boasts practical features as a diver's watch, such as resistance to extreme temperature changes and saltwater, and a unidirectional rotating bezel. Furthermore, it features a silicon balance spring for enhanced magnetic resistance, making it a perfectly suited modern diver's watch that also fits urban lifestyles.

The watch features a substantial 43.2mm diameter case, a dark blue dial, and a ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel. The hour and minute hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova® for superior luminescence. The brand's signature Panorama Date big date display adds another accent, conveying a sense of high-quality watchmaking.

Glashütte Original, a brand that strongly embodies German watchmaking culture through its watchmaking, offers a wide selection of its representative collections, including "SeaQ," on the 5th floor of the Isetan Shinjuku Main Building. We invite you to experience the brand's unwavering commitment to watchmaking, honed in a region with a long history of watchmaking culture.
