Sixties: A Closer Look

This is the only watch I’ve ever owned where, when you study its profile from the mid-case, you can actually see the side of the 21k gold rotor. Maybe it’s just me , but I just spent the last 5 minutes admiring this unique feature. And it’s really cool! It’s clear GO took some extra time here to allow its owner to admire the manufacturer movement from an entirely new perspective. Flipping the watch over, at first glance, one sees the simple, uncluttered dial. But there is so much more to appreciate upon closer inspection! Check out the domed dial, and then the curved minutes and seconds hands that flawlessly mirror the edge of the domed dial. The last surprise is really special. Look at the indices. Those are actually negative space. Not printed, not applied, but masterfully and carefully milled into the dial. When the light catches just right you can see the mirror polish of the indices glistening in the sun. A simple watch at first glance, but look closer and you’ll discover its special charm!
