Stepping up in Glashütte Original's range
The SeaQ traces its design directly to the Spezimatic Type RP TS 200, a German diver from 1969, and you can read that lineage clearly in the oversized hands and applied indices. What the original reference could not offer was the contrast of materials this one carries: a stainless steel case fitted with an 18-carat red gold crown and bezel, and a galvanic grey dial with a sunray finish that moves between flat and luminous depending on the angle of the light. The highly cambered sapphire crystal is a deliberate choice — it recalls the dome profile of vintage plexiglass without any of its vulnerabilities. The Calibre 36-13 is built to Glashütte Original's manufactory standard: a three-quarter plate with stripe finishing, bevelled edges, blued screws, and a silicon hairspring for antimagnetic resistance, all anchored into the case via a bayonet mount for shock protection. That movement also carries a 100-hour power reserve, which is generous even among serious tool watches. At 15.65mm thick, this is not a watch that disappears under a cuff, but the Panorama Date at four o'clock — the same complication placement Glashütte Original uses across its dress range — is a reminder that the ambition here goes beyond depth rating. The grey synthetic strap handles immersion without complaint and keeps the overall read purposeful rather than precious.

Learn more about Glashütte Original
Glashütte Original is the direct corporate descendant of the East German state watchmaking industry. When the Soviet administration expropriated Glashütte's private manufacturers after the Second World War — A. Lange & Söhne among them — it consolidated them into a single enterprise, VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe, which produced watches for the Eastern Bloc for four decades.
After reunification the enterprise was privatised, and in 1994 it took the name Glashütte Original. It therefore inherits both the archives and the tooling of the pre-war houses and the industrial capacity built under the GDR.
That inheritance shows in vertical integration unusual even at the high end. The company makes its own movements, and its own dials, through the Pforzheim dial manufactory it acquired in 2006 — a capability most houses buy in.
The house signatures are German: three-quarter plates, duplex swan-neck fine adjustment, hand-engraved balance cocks, and skeletonised rotors in double-G form. The Panorama Date, a large date display where both discs sit on one plane so no dividing line interrupts the numerals, is its most distinctive complication and a deliberate improvement on the standard big-date module.
The Senator, Sixties, and Seventies collections cover classical and retro-industrial ground respectively. Swatch Group acquired the company in 2000.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 300m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 100 hours fully wound — enough to sit off the wrist over a weekend and still be running.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
