Glashutte Original Sixties Chronograph Glacier Blue LNIB
Original owner here. Purchased from AD a couple months ago. Selling to fund another watch - this "hobby" is a sickness :)
The dial on this watch is the star of the show. It is mesmerizing to look at. Here are some details: The Glashutte Original Sixties Chronograph Glacier Blue 1-39-34-04-22-04 is produced by Glashutte Original's dial factory situated in Pforzheim, a noteworthy center in Germany for both watch and adornments manufacture. The procedure is a multistage activity. A sunray design is primarily engraved on the dial, and it is squeezed into its domed form. Then two layers of coating are applied one by one, where the first one is a dark blue shade, and then the blue glacier coating is applied. The two different layers lead to give off its perfect shading inclination. Lastly, the 1960s time numerals and dial markers are fixed. The blue dials are given completion in a dégradé shading which obscures near its edges. It’s an effect that entails numerous processes to accomplish. It begins with a dial blank created out of German silver that is first given a sun-beam wrap-up utilizing a pivoting metal brush. It is then squeezed to accomplish an arched shape that is a vital component of the retro style before going through galvanization. This procedure gives it a defensive, zinc-based covering. At last, to attain the smoked look, the dial is covered with dark blue enamel that is thicker near the border and giving it a more dark shade edge. At that point, the surface is covered with a light blue veneer, making the separate, two-tone finish. The completing process includes etching the hour guides with a processing machine, uncovering the zinc-covered German silver underneath the blue enamel. The dial design is the traditional bi-complex setup, having running seconds on the sub-dial at 3 o'clock and a chronograph minute aggregator towards the thirty minutes at the 9 o'clock sub-dial. Together, both the sub-dials are somewhat lower to give a more precise outline. The hour indicators are appliqué bar indicators apart from the 6 and 12, which are cushion imprinted in an elegant font and constant with the Sixties assortment. Minute indicators are bars and move in print, interspersed at five-minute spans by SuperLuminova marks. Hands are usual stick hands with SuperLuminova infill, and the chronograph hand is a long, thin, pointy form which works out in the right way for the whole outlook of the watch. This GO operates with their Caliber 39-34, a beautiful self winding movement. Retail is $8300 My price: $6200 shipped in the continental US. Reasonable offers will be considered. Bank wire or Zelle payments accepted. PayPal will be considered for well established TRF members. Buy with confidence.
