Hands-On: Glashütte Original SeaQ 39.50mm Watch

Glashütte Original SeaQ 39.50mm Watch 

Glashütte Original SeaQ 39.50mm Watch

The Glashütte Original SeaQ in its "base" 39.50mm form is an extravagantly made, costly plunge watch that presented the brand's Spezialist assortment of current games watches. The SeaQ line incorporates the SeaQ Panorama Date and the SeaQ we see here – which likely should've been named the SeaQ 39.50 to decrease the disarray between the line and the name individual model.

At any rate, the "base" SeaQ with its strong caseback and normal date show at 3 o'clock carries with it a great deal of the brand name Glashütte Original appeal that gives the Saxon assembling a large portion of its gravitas. That incorporates a specific vibe of the vigor that any decently prepared watch darling will have the option to separate after lifting the watch from its plate in the boutique, just as a large group of interesting, now and again even particular plan components. Pleasantly made, dependable, and peculiar is the situation, making the SeaQ its own thing. The SeaQ 39.50mm is fueled by the assembling's in-house Caliber 39-11, a pleasantly completed development with cleaned steel parts, cleaned screw-heads, Glashütte stripe finish, and swan-neck fine change – however, it's holed up behind a seemingly cool-looking strong caseback engraved with a spear.

The recommendation here is that of a very much made, rather clear jumper that attempts to give its wearer true serenity. Curiously, a legitimization I regularly get with individual watch darlings when they clarify why they picked a jumper's watch over whatever else is, past its looks, is the effortless proprietorship that an especially strong, will we say, the over-designed watch gives. Glashütte Original's aphorism, in all honesty, should just be that single word. If Rolex can "own" the word Superlative, for what reason couldn't this German watchmaker own the other? 

The definitive inquiry with regards to the fate of each is exactly the number of planned purchasers who can precisely measure its quality and, yet more critically, the number of locating its near on-$10k value worth extending for. Since for such cash, one anticipates that touch of adornments should be tossed into the fanatic plunge watch blend, Glashütte Original has added a portion of its slick case getting done with clean angling and exceptionally refined brushing on the center segment alongside a high-cleaned, unidirectional bezel that outlines a profoundly scratch-evidence, matte blue and white clay embed.

All things considered, it's where it's at for gems. Glashütte Original's in-house dials are notably better than most of the opposition with a level (and consistency) of delicacy hardly discovered somewhere else. The sunburst base that sparkles through the galvanic blue of the dial, the three-dimensionality of the writings, the hand-filled glowing files, and what gives off an impression of being a delicate drop-off bend around the outskirts: these all add up and render the dial one pricey group of segments. 

It's no big surprise, at that point, that the armband and case, albeit very much made, see the dial get everyone's attention. The middle connections have a splendid clean while the external connections are brushed – what's ostensibly absent at the cost is an all the more flawlessly completed end-interface because the vertically brushed piece is an odd counterpart for the round brushed situation when you take a gander at it intently. Or on the other hand, it should simply have a cleaned focal point. On the addition to the side, the catch has a coordinated, device-free miniature change slider that is worked by pushing at once G logo in the focal point of the fasten. As I have said on many occasions, each extravagance sports watch ought to have this implicit – however, just a little portion of them do.

The 39.50mm Glashütte Original SeaQ wears pleasantly with a medium-hefty haul for the size. I regard the way that it heads out in a different direction to being stylishly satisfying: the extents are near wonderful which is a ton, parcel harder to get right once you begin including significant idiosyncrasies, for example, distinctively molded principle hands, easily estimated crown, slender center case, wide dial and huge files. But then, this is the course the SeaQ has taken and has figured out how to pull it off all around ok. The subsequent case size is 39.50mm in width and only 12.50mm in thickness – and that last spec ought to contribute extraordinarily to everyday wearing solace. Water opposition is 20 bars (200-meter same), which isn't comparable to the 300m rating the SeaQ Panorama Date gives yet at the same time all that anyone could need. Additionally, even with the 200m rating, the SeaQ adjusts with both the DIN 8306 and the ISO 6425 jumper's watch principles, making it a legitimate plunge watch. 

Another, might I venture to state, the honorably Germanic thing to the SeaQ 39.50mm is its intentional nonattendance of outlandish subtleties. No confounded crown watch, no stupid helium valve, no moronically inordinate water opposition – not so much as a cyclops anyplace to be seen. The lone striking quirk that is more part pour l'art than everything else on the watch is the boxed-domed gem that can, from steep points, contort the files and hands at the very edge of the dial. This impact is significantly more articulated on the SeaQ Panorama Date, yet it is in any case present on the SeaQ. As an or more, this adds an energetic component to the front and since it seems to have been joined with an appropriate enemy of reflection covering, genuine clarity ought to be in a way that is better than on a benchmark watch like the Submariner with its level, though gladly non-AR-covered precious stone. Certifiable neatness is yet to be seen for this is an active article and not a top to bottom audit.

The SeaQ's greater sibling is the previously mentioned SeaQ Panorama Date that adds a bigger, delightfully completed development that is uncovered through a domed sapphire precious stone caseback, adds 60 more for a sum of 100 hours of intensity hold, and has Glashütte Original's brand name Panorama Date with concentric circles for a bigger date show with upgraded decipherability. Given Glashütte Original's flow valuing, the SeaQ Panorama Date model costs somewhat over $2,000 more than the model seen here. For a fifth a greater amount of the value, it gives significantly more – which is an interesting point before settling on a decision in the SeaQ line. 

Accessible with a scope of texture and elastic ties and on the steel wristband as observed here, the Glashütte Original SeaQ 39.50mm is valued at $10,200 on the armband ($9,000 with a tie and pin clasp, $9,300 with lash and deployment clasp), making the SeaQ a lavishly made, costly jumper for those with an eye and hunger for extravagance estimated German designing.
