The Watch: The Glashütte Original SeaQ Panorama Date Ref. 1-36-13-02-81-70 takes the vintage-rooted SeaQ formula and scales it up into a serious professional diver. Where the standard SeaQ nods to the 1969 Spezimatic Typ RP TS 200 in a compact 39.5mm case, this 43.2mm version turns up the presence, the water resistance, and the horological ambition, adding the manufacture's signature Panorama Date and an exhibition caseback.
The galvanic blue dial is crafted in-house, with applied Arabic numerals and indexes deeply filled with luminous material for legibility that holds up in low light. Framing it is a unidirectional bezel with a blue ceramic insert matched to the dial, scratch-resistant with a precise click. The domed sapphire crystal and vertically satin-brushed case give the watch a tool-like finish.
Powering the watch is the automatic Caliber 36-13, a modern silicon-hairspring movement running at 28,800 vph across 41 jewels with a 100-hour power reserve. Rated to 30 bar with a screw-down crown, crown protection, and a centrally screwed caseback, it is genuinely dive-ready rather than dive-styled. Paired with the stainless steel bracelet and its multi-step fine adjustment clasp, this is a diver that punches into haute horology territory at a fraction of the finishing-to-price ratio you would pay elsewhere.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. Some light marks. 2022.
