The SeaQ Chronograph celebrates its premiere
Once again, the manufactory from the German watchmaking town of Glashütte presents the real thing – a genuine original in more ways than one. The new SeaQ Chronograph is the first diver’s watch from Glashütte Original to be equipped with a chronograph movement.

The challenge
In developing the new chronograph, Glashütte Original based the design concept on four considerations: how can it be made as accurate, robust, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing as possible? For the new SeaQ Chronograph, the bar was set exceptionally high.

Short-term measurement meets diver’s watch
A diver’s life may well depend on their watch functioning properly. For this reason, the watches in the SeaQ family are subjected to rigorous testing to ensure they meet the ISO 6425 and DIN 8306 standards.

Under the loupe: a tiny turn for greater shock resistance
One of the requirements for diver’s watches: shock resistance from a height of one meter. Apparently straightforward, it’s a nightmare for everyone who owns a mechanical watch – in reality a situation one would avoid at all costs.

Under the loupe: even more space for rate precision
Both resistance and rate precision are of fundamental importance for the functional reliability of a mechanical watch. This also involves the effort to achieve optimally uniform – isochronous – oscillation of the balance, in every position and even while the chronograph is running.

Under the loupe: a versatile crown offers even greater ease of use
The SeaQ Chronograph’s short-term measurement is a world of its own. It features a flyback function, i.e. reset and restart of the stop hand on the fly, central stop-seconds, and a 30- minute counter at 3 o’clock; all are operated using the two pushers on the edge of the case. In addition, Glashütte Original’s signature Panorama Date is found just above 6 o’clock.

A contemporary chronograph movement
The automatic movement Calibre 37-23 combines maximum resistance, precision and userfriendliness with a running time of over 70 hours. The silicon balance spring offers enhanced resistance to the influence of magnetic fields, for example, and thanks to its steady oscillation, greater rate precision.

A sporty and elegant companion for any and all adventures
The debut model of the SeaQ Chronograph is dressed in dark blue, from the handmade dial to the unidirectional rotating bezel with ceramic inlay. The hour, minute and stop-seconds hands are coated with highly luminous Super-LumiNova®, as are the indexes and the triangle symbol on the bezel.

Four different straps are available: a dark blue rubber strap, a stainless steel link bracelet, and two synthetic fabric straps made from recycled fishnets, in grey or blu
A special premiere
