Glashütte Original combines strong colours with the fine art of watchmaking

The house of Glashutte Original adds five new colorful dials to its famous Sixties Iconic Collection. This vintage-inspired collection, which is a tribute to the iconic timepieces from the 1960’s, and particularly the Spezimatic – one of Glashütte Original’s most famous creations. The Spezimatic, which was first introduced in 1964, is a series of automatic models, equipped with Calibers 74 or 75, and manufactured from 1964 to 1979. The special Sixties Icons Collection pays a tribute to this iconic era, while blending its unmistakable design style with a modern pop of color. Five new colorful models are named after the hues they represent: Sixties Red, Sixties Golden, Sixties Aqua, Sixties Brown and Sixties Grey.
This special collection of the Sixties Icons is decorated with dégradé effect on the dial. The dials were first galvanized in Glashütte Original's own dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany, and then hand-layered with colorful lacquer, in a series of subsequent steps. Finally, a color is applied using a special spray gun. Since this operation is also made by hand, the technique produces an individual color gradient, unique to each dial, depending on the angle the spray gun is held in decorator’s hands.
Three of five new models in the Sixties Iconic Collection combine unique hues with a refined sunray finishing: the Sixties Golden and the Sixties Aqua reveal a golden shimmer or a brilliant turquoise at the center of the dials blending into a deep black. On the Sixties Red model, a luminous yellow changes to passionate red. The color of the Sixties Brown and Sixties Grey models is enhanced by an intricate imprint with a filigree pattern. The motif is obtained using guilloche stamps from the archives of the Glashütte Original dial manufactory, which are around 40 years old. The brown-black dial reveals a dégradé effect with fine rhombic pattern, while the silver-grey model shows a structure reminiscent of dewdrops.
The watches from Glashütte Original’s Sixties Iconic Collection feature the characteristic domed dials and lightly arched hour and minute hands with Super-Luminova coating. The Arabic numerals appear at hours 3, 6, 9 and 12, while the rounded stainless steel cases measure 39mm in diameter. The case accommodates the automatic Calibre 39-52, beating at a frequency of 28.800 v/h, which offers a power reserve of 40 hours. All models are mounted on matching Louisiana Alligator leather straps, and they are water resistant to 30 meters.
The Sixties Iconic Collection reference numbers:
1-39-52-09-02-01 - Sixties Aqua
1-39-52-10-02-01 – Sixties Brown
