Baselworld 2011: Glashütte Original Panorama Date Seventies

Baselworld 2011: Glashütte Original Panorama Date Seventies
by Kyle Stults on February 17, 2011

Groovy, man!

You are in luck today as I have scooped a couple looks at another new 2011 model from Glashütte Original. The new watch is currently presented exclusively as a Basel preview in Berlin at the 61^st Berlinale where Glashütte Original is the co-sponsor for the first time this year. Details are scant at the moment, but as you can see (and as the name implies) the watch takes its design cues from the 1970′s. I also know that the sunburst dial will come in color variations – black (picture below), silver, and blue. Stay tuned.

And here’s a look at the beautiful folding clasp with “Double G” engraving:

Any idea on the price? Im thinking on buying a Rolex Explorer, but this a watch that could make me change my mind, but only if its around the same price as the Rolex…

No official price released yet — but I would guess it at between $8,000-$10,000 based on my knowledge of the brand.

That price sounds just about dead on. With GO you can pretty well guess the price based on the features, unlike certain brands where they will release a model with red hands or a 2mm larger case and mark it up $2,000-$10,000 higher.

I was on the fence about going to Basel this year. Not any more, as I have to see this in the metal. I love the way the date display is out of the way of the hour markers.

Yea — it’s just a money watch, all around.
