Quick TakeThe Glashütte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition is a vibe, a throwback to the swinging '60s but with a modern twist. This bad boy's icy blue dial is just a slice of cool–it's like staring into a glacial lagoon, but way more stylish. The stainless steel case? Totally solid. The brown calfskin strap is a smooth operator, ready to rock and roll. The watch is a proper head turner. And the guts of this beauty, the Calibre 39-34 movement, are pure craftsmanship, humming along at 4 Hz with a whole 38 hours of juice. This isn't just a watch, it's the life of the party, the main event, the showstopper. A piece that doesn't just tell time, it tells your story, your style, your attitude. It is a testament to watchmaking with a soul–and a whole lot of swagger. A symphony of German engineering and retro chic.

DescriptionThe Glashütte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition, reference 1-39-34-04-22-04, is a timepiece defined by its precise engineering and refined aesthetics. The watch's stainless steel case measures 42.00 mm in diameter and 12.40 mm in height, offering a balanced profile on the wrist. With a water resistance rated at 3 bar, the case is constructed to withstand minor splashes but is not designed for submersion or water-related activities. Its construction features a specially shaped sapphire crystal bottom, which allows a clear view of the intricate inner workings. The dial is a visual centerpiece, finished with a domed varnish in glacier blue, enhanced by a dégradé effect that transitions from a lighter center to darker edges. This gradient effect adds depth and character to the dial's appearance. White Arabic numerals are printed clearly, providing a stark contrast against the blue backdrop. The dial also features milled markers, printed scales, and luminous dots on the hour markers for enhanced legibility under various lighting conditions. The brown calfskin strap, with dimensions of 75 x 115 mm and an end link width of 20 mm, complements the watch's aesthetic while ensuring a comfortable fit.

Powering this horological piece is the Calibre 39-34, an automatic movement developed in-house by Glashütte Original. The movement's technical specifications include a power reserve of 38 hours, plus or minus 5%, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, which is equivalent to 4 Hz. This ensures accurate timekeeping and smooth operation of the chronograph functions. Noteworthy features of the movement include a Glashütte three-quarter plate adorned with a stripe finish, a swan-neck fine adjustment mechanism, and meticulously beveled edges. Polished steel parts and a skeletonized rotor with the brand's signature double-G symbol enhance the movement's visual appeal. An additional feature is the 21-carat gold oscillation weight, which contributes to the movement's efficiency. The watch offers a range of functions, including the display of hours and minutes, a small second, a 30-minute counter, and a chronograph with a stop-second mechanism. This annual edition, released in 2020, is a testament to Glashütte Original's commitment to blending traditional watchmaking with modern design and functionality.
