About Glashütte Original SeaQ
Glashütte’s original SeaQ diving watch was released in the spring of 2019. Among the top German watchmaking brands, whether Glashütte’s Original or Lange, they have not focused on luxury diving watches for a long time. In contrast, Glashütte’s original The newly launched SeaQ watch comes as the only luxury sports series among the five major series of the brand, which can be said to make up for this shortcoming of the top German watchmaking brands. Therefore, from the perspective of the Glashütte original brand itself, the launch of the SeaQ watch is refreshing.
If you have to go back to the source, about half a century ago, a Spezimatic Typ RP TS 200 diving watch specially developed for actual combat diving came out in the small town of Glashütte. This prototype watch is Glashütte’s original SeaQ diving watch—the source of inspiration for creating the look.
There are three SeaQ watches: the retro-style SeaQ 1969 watch, limited to 69 pieces, and the other two unlimited SeaQ watches (diameter 39.5mm) and SeaQ large calendar watches (diameter 39.5mm) for more consumers. 43.2mm). The following is the main introduction of this most domineering SeaQ large calendar – equipped with Glashütte’s original self-developed 36 movements, passed the initial 24-day strict test, accurate travel time, power reserve of 100 hours, waterproof depth of 300 meters. The large calendar window at 4 o’clock on the dial is very eye-catching.

About competing products at the same level
This time, we will compare Glashütte’s original SeaQ large calendar watch (1-36-13-01-80-70) with the Rolex Black Water Ghost Submariner series (126610LN).
At first glance, the price gap between these two watches is a bit big, but the price consumers get is upside down from the public price: it is almost impossible for the Rolex Black Water Ghost to start at the original price. After the price increase, it will be about RMB 100,000. It is about 100 yuan, about the same as the public price of Glashütte’s original SeaQ large calendar. However, the SeaQ large calendar still has a specific discount, so in terms of actual cost, the SeaQ large calendar with a higher price will be cheaper. Replica Rolex watches.
Its advantages are the Parachrom hairspring of the Blackwater Ghost and the Superlative Observatory precision timepiece certification. Still, Glashütte’s original strict 24-day factory self-test is not inferior, providing quality assurance for the SeaQ large calendar; 100 hours of power Storage is also more durable.
Glashütte Original revives its diving watch tradition, which makes people look at this top German watchmaking brand with admiration. However, in the field of diving watches, SeaQ watches are still relatively niche compared to the Rolex Water Ghost and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms series. They are more suitable for friends willing to stick to their attitude and not follow the trend when choosing a watch.
