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!
Hello Aquaracer! Absolutely agree with your thoughts and description of your beautiful Glashutte Sixties. I own same model but with the big date feature...
... and I fell in love with it at first sight when I viewed it several years ago because of the feature you mention of its domed case back and its dial. I must add that also the blue soleil dial is breathtaking.
The only other watches I know which have a similar caseback which shows its rotor in a similar way are the modern Speedmaster automatic line with two subdials and its 9900 series movement.
Both watches are delight to wear and view at their both sides.
Keep enjoying and loving yours so much!
Best cordial regards, Abel

Thank you Abel for your comments and pics, that is a beautiful example you have there! This blue dial in particular is breathtaking. Not only the shade of blue , but the sunburst finish on the dial keeps things interesting. May you enjoy yours in the best of health!
My big pleasure Aquaracer! Absolutely agree with your thoughts on its sunburst (soleil) finish of its dial. Let´s keep enjoying our watches so much! Best, Abel
Nice shot.
Great view from the back.
I like seeing the side of the rotor on the Cal 240 too.

Wonderful!
Wonderful! Thanks for pointing out these features! GO is fantastic and this model is one I would consider!
Favorite Numerical Font!
Such a great watch.
In general, I feel like Glashütte Original is that movie trope of the super attractive kid in college that is great at atheletics and academics, but doesn't realise how hot they are.
So interesting and never knew about it
I’m quite a GO fan myself and this watch is on my list. I also love it with a big date but prefer the 40mm version to the 42mm.
Enjoy yours!

Appreciate your comments! Yes, the 42 mm (with cool PanoDate feature) is too large for my 7 inch wrist. Mine is the 39 mm and it fits quite well , especially due to the compact lug to lug measurement of approx 45 mm
