An icon of the silver screen

Lights! Camera! Action! The new SeaQ Chronograph

A twisting noir, a striking charcoal sketch, an evocative photograph from the past: some things don’t need colour to leave a lasting impression. The new SeaQ Chronograph has the same objective. German watchmaker Glashütte Original presents the latest addition to its Spezialist collection in minimalistic black-and-white, revealing a new side to the sporty timepiece. The bright “Silver Screen“ dial is the backdrop for an incomparable adventure: one’s own life.

The art of contrast

The absence of colour is itself a statement. A sheer necessity in the past, today black-and-white has established itself in filmmaking as a conscious alternative to the real world. Reduced to the essentials, nothing remains to distract from the image’s message. Similarly, the “silver screen”, once a stage for the cinematic masterpieces of the 20th century, has become a synonym for an entire profession that still today brings dreams to life.

Captured on screen

For its new creation in the Spezialist Collection, German watchmaker Glashütte Original found inspiration in the sublime art of saying a great deal with very little colour. The new SeaQ Chronograph appears in an essential black-and-white design that lends the newcomer even greater character. The frame consists of a round, 43.2 mm diameter case in stainless steel and a unidirectional rotating bezel with scratch-resistant, black ceramic inlay. To ensure optimal legibility, the galvanic silver dial makes use of the same optical effect that cinema screens once achieved by means of a thin coat of silver paint: the surface reduces the dispersion of light to a minimum and enables greater contrast than a white background. On the SeaQ Chronograph’s “Silver Screen” dial, the interplay of the black hands and applied indexes with their Super-LumiNova® coating is as charming as a black-and-white epic flickering over a movie theatre screen. The 30-minute counter and small second auxiliary dials have been carefully lathe-cut and given a “vinyl” decorative finish in the manufactory workshops. Their slender, galvanic black frames also show this refined circular groove pattern. The black-and-white theme continues at 6 o’clock with the Panorama Date presenting white numerals on a black background.

An adventurer in a tux

If the new SeaQ Chronograph were to play a role in a movie, it would likely be a highly suspenseful thriller – along with its rigorously sporty character, the watch impresses with its exceptional resilience. Officially certified as a diver’s watch according to ISO 6425 as well as DIN 8306 standards and water-resistant to 300 metres, no underwater adventure is too challenging. Its short-time measurement boasts a precise flyback function: a single push suffices to stop, reset and restart the chronograph’s stop second. A fearless adventurer with a complex inner life, the SeaQ Chronograph steps into the limelight in an elegant black-tie look. Appropriately for the protagonist of a gripping story, it has a multi-faceted personality. A black rubber strap highlights the SeaQ Chronograph’s rugged appearance, while a stainless steel bracelet transforms it into an elegant allrounder. And to make a special impression, an orange textile strap is available – guaranteed to catch everyone’s eye.

The soundtrack to modern life

The SeaQ Chronograph is powered by the in-house Calibre 37-23 automatic movement. Tailor-made to meet the needs and demands of modern life, its steady ticking is the perfect soundtrack for every day’s adventure. It has a running time of up to 70 hours, and its silicon balance spring remains unaffected by magnetic fields or fluctuations in temperature. Elaborate decorative flourishes – the Glashütte stripes on the three-quarter plate, beveled and polished edges, polished and blued screws, and the skeletonized rotor – are revealed through the sapphire crystal case back, and are a spectacle in their own right.

The new “Silver Screen” SeaQ Chronograph is available from September 2024 at Feldmar Watch Company.
