some things don’t need colour to leave a lasting impression.
The newSeaQ Chronograph has the same objective. German watchmaker Glashütte Original
presents the latest addition to its Spezialist collection in minimalistic black-and-white,revealing a new side to the sporty timepiece. The bright “Silver Screen“ dial is the
backdrop for an incomparable adventure: one’s own life.
The absence of colour is itself a statement. A sheer necessity in the past, today black-and-
white has established itself in filmmaking as a conscious alternative to the real world.
Reduced to the essentials, nothing remains to distract from the image’s message. Similarly,
the “silver screen”, once a stage for the cinematic masterpieces of the 20th century, has
become a synonym for an entire profession that still today brings dreams to life.
Captured on screen
For its new creation in the Spezialist Collection, German watchmaker Glashütte Original
found inspiration in the sublime art of saying a great deal with very little colour.

The new SeaQ Chronograph appears in an essential black-and-white design that lends the newcomer
even greater character. The frame consists of a round, 43.2 mm diameter case in stainless
steel and a unidirectional rotating bezel with scratch-resistant, black ceramic inlay.

To ensure optimal legibility, the galvanic silver dial makes use of the same optical effect that
cinema screens once achieved by means of a thin coat of silver paint: the surface reduces
the dispersion of light to a minimum and enables greater contrast than a white background.
On the SeaQ Chronograph’s “Silver Screen” dial, the interplay of the black hands and
applied indexes with their Super-LumiNova® coating is as charming as a black-and-white
epic flickering over a movie theatre screen. The 30-minute counter and small second
auxiliary dials have been carefully lathe-cut and given a “vinyl” decorative finish in the
manufactory workshops.

The soundtrack to modern life
The SeaQ Chronograph is powered by the in-house Calibre 37-23 automatic movement.Tailor-made to meet the needs and demands of modern life, its steady ticking is the perfect
soundtrack for every day’s adventure. It has a running time of up to 70 hours, and its silicon
balance spring remains unaffected by magnetic fields or fluctuations in temperature.
Elaborate decorative flourishes – the Glashütte stripes on the three-quarter plate, beveled
and polished edges, polished and blued screws, and the skeletonized rotor – are revealed
through the sapphire crystal case back, and are a spectacle in their own right.
Appropriately for the protagonist of a gripping story, it has a multi-faceted personality.
A black rubber strap highlights the SeaQ Chronograph’s rugged appearance, while a
stainless steel bracelet transforms it into an elegant allrounder. And to make a special
impression, an orange textile strap is available – guaranteed to catch everyone’s eye.
Proud to be the Original. #PTBTO

Looking good, but....
...the elephant in the room is the 17 mm height, which makes it unwearable for most wrists. At a max. 15 mm height this would be a winner !!
Looks great!
Love the design and the white dial in this reference. But as mentinoed, the size is an issue for me and for a lot of the GO collection...the watches are a tad on the large size unfortunately.
