About Glashütte Original SeaQ Watches

The Glashütte Original SeaQ is created with high functionality in mind for sea-dwelling enthusiasts or anyone interested in a luxury sports watch. The SeaQ's dial is highly legible underwater and uses superlative in-house manufactured movements for everlasting reliability and accuracy.
Glashütte Original earns the trust of both hardcore collectors and fascinated newbies with its horological reverence. The Swiss company has deep roots in the study of time and watchmaking and currently funds the Alfred Helwig German School of Watchmaking.
The SeaQ collection, wholly regarded as the Spezialist collection, comprises the SeaQ Chronograph, SeaQ Panorama Date, and SeaQ. It's important to learn more about their differences before shopping.
The SeaQ has a ton of symbolic features that make it an exciting tool watch. Its closed caseback has an engraving of a trident anchored between 20 waves and Glashütte's double G logo. This simple embossment means you're protected by Poseidon, god of the seas, and Glashütte to 200 meters of water.

Glashütte Original SeaQ History

The SeaQ is a relatively new collection in Glashütte Original's lineup. Although the collection was only introduced in 2019, it's based on the brand's first diver's watch, the GUB Spezimatic type RP TS, which was released in 1969.
Its release - one limited and one unlimited model - marked the 50th anniversary of the SeaQ 1969. Only the limited edition, SeaQ ref. 1-39-11-01-80-08 carries the name of the original. The last two digits are based on the strap and buckle combinations.
The latest addition to the SeaQ collection is the SeaQ chronograph, released in 2022. Its design, except for the movement, is based on the SeaQ Panorama Date that was introduced after the baseline SeaQ models.
Presently, the Glashütte Original Spezialist SeaQ family is clutter-free and easy to pick from thanks to a small lineup in the collections and overall limited production.

Considering the homage, engineering, and precision, you'll get good value for your money.

What's Unique About Glashütte Original SeaQ Watches?

It's not just the watch but the rich culture, engineering, and design behind the brand that makes the SeaQ special. It's also a symbolic diver's watch, with meaningful brand or satirical symbols found on the crown and caseback.
The iconic dial has legible Arabic numerals for a stylish yet functional and versatile appeal. It also has all the fundamentals for safe deep sea diving, including a unidirectional bezel, Superluminova on the triangle to indicate the dive start time, and on the hands, plus a screw-down crown.

Glashütte Original SeaQ Movements

The Glashütte Original SeaQ collections use mechanical automatic movements of different calibers. They are all in-house Glashütte Original Manufactory movements.
Its base collection, SeaQ uses the Caliber Glashütte Original 39-11 with 40 hours of power reserve and a 28.800vph beat rate. The Panorama Date features a Glashütte Original Caliber 36-13 with a panorama date, 100 hours of power reserve, and 21-carat gold oscillation weight.
Next is the SeaQ chronograph's movement, aGlashütte OriginalCaliber 37-23 featuring 70 hours of power reserve, chronograph function (stop time), panorama, and a 21-carat gold rotor.

Glashütte Original SeaQ Watch Colors

Glashütte Original is conservative with the choice of colors used in the SeaQ collection. The SeaQ chronograph line, for instance, is only available in a blue dial-bezel colorway with silver-white hour markers.
The Panorama Date and SeaQ both have models available in a black or blue dial-bezel variation. They also offer more unique colors like red green and galvanized gray. These SeaQ models are also available in vintage-looking or blue Superluminova hands.

Glashütte Original SeaQ Watch Materials

As said earlier, Glashütte Original remains conservative with its choice of materials in the SeaQ. The majority of models in the SeaQ use a stainless steel case material. Only two models have a solid gold case, but some have a mixture of stainless steel and red gold or yellow gold.
Another model, the SeaQ 1-39-11-09-82-70 features a stainless steel case with 47 brilliant-cut diamonds laid in the bezel. It also has a sapphire stone set on the triangle that signifies the dive start time.
The strap materials range from stainless steel and rubber to textile straps in varying colors.

Glashütte Original SeaQ Watch Complications

This is a dive watch line, so there are only a few complications aside from the date function in every model. If you're looking for more complicated timepieces, check out the Glashütte Original Senator collection.
The Panorama Date is Glashütte Original's version of a big date complication. It uses two concentric discs to create a larger date window.
The SeaQ Chronograph and Panorama Date are also water resistant up to 300 meters. And, of course, the Chronograph has a stop second function, flyback, seconds windows, and 70 hours of power reserve.

Glashütte Original SeaQ Sizes

Glashütte Original consciously avoids clutter in the entire SeaQ family, not only in the designs but also in sizes.
The more popular Glashütte Original watches have a static 39.5mm case diameter, are 12mm tall, and are about 47mm lug-to-lug size.
Next is the Glashütte Original Panorama Date. It measures 43.2mm in diameter and is 15.65mm thick, which served as a canvas for the SeaQ chronograph. The last collection in the Spezialist, the SeaQ Chronograph, is also the same size.

Caring for Your Glashütte Original SeaQ Watch

Your Glashütte Original SeaQ is built to last more than one generation. But you can't pass down your timepiece if it's in disrepair from lack of maintenance and servicing. Glashütte Original is generous enough to provide a warranty to cover any issue that happens in 24 months. However, you're on your own after this period.
It's your choice to send your SeaQ to either the Glashütte Original Manufactory or an authorized service center, like Exquisite Timepieces.
ETP, like the Glashütte Original company, provides full-service maintenance or individual maintenance based on your needs.
We provide cleaning, restoration, and repair services for all SeaQ models. We also offer a free estimate for the total cost of caring for your watch, but unlike GO, we never charge it to your bill when you send it in.
