Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Fab Green
The Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Fab Green is a new version of the brand’s period-themed chronograph with large date display. However, in this instance, it comes presented with a new retro-style dial executed in viridescent tones. The watch combines the notable skills of the company’s dial facility in Pforzheim with the brand’s Manufactory in Glashütte.
While wristwatches must be functional, they must also have a prepossessing visage. Most watch brands are mindful of this, expending much effort in designing aesthetically pleasing dials. Colours, depths, textures and occasionally métier d’art differentiate the exceptional from the mundane. While legibility is an important consideration, the face of a watch must evoke a sense of passion.
Dials made in Pforzheim
Glashütte Original, the high-end German watch brand, clearly understands the importance of a dial endowed with a pulchritudinous face. Unlike the majority of watch brands, the luxury marque has its own dedicated dial facility in Pforzheim.
Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
In recent years, the firm has produced 70s-inspired timepieces featuring eye-catching retro-themed dials. Now, it has released a new version of the popular Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date sporting a Fab Green dial. The luminescent hands and indexes beautifully contrast with the viridescent tones of the dial. The twin counters are recessed and feature snailing, adding depth and texture to the horological vista. Lastly, the degradé dial is mid-green at its centre, transitioning to dark green near the periphery of the display.
Calibre 37-02
Lastly, behind the bewitching smile of the Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Fab Green there is much mechanical intellect. Indeed, the Calibre 37-02, an automatic movement, is beautifully crafted in the company’s Manufactory in Glashütte.
