Glashütte Original Seventies ‘X’ Chronograph North America Limited Edition
The Glashütte Original Seventies ‘X’ Chronograph is more than just a timepiece—it’s a celebration of American style, precision German watchmaking, and the spirit of the 1970s. Designed exclusively for the North American market, this limited edition of just 100 pieces is a bold reinterpretation of the brand’s iconic Seventies line, blending retro flair with contemporary elegance.
A North American Exclusive: Why It Matters
In a historic first for the brand, Glashütte Original has created a timepiece only available in North America. While the Seventies line has seen various global limited editions, the Seventies ‘X’ Chronograph is a nod to the unique cultural identity of American leisure. Set against the backdrop of a sun-soaked Miami Beach editorial shoot, this launch channels effortless sophistication, resort elegance, and modern collectibility
Retro Design with a Modern Edge
With a 40 x 40 mm square stainless-steel case, this chronograph captures the angular, confident silhouette emblematic of 1970s design. The matte white lacquer dial is framed by two black galvanized subdials with a record-style texture, evoking classic vinyl vibes. Notable aesthetic highlights include:
Red 10 marker and red stop-second hand, commemorating the line’s 10-year anniversary.
Rod-shaped indices in white gold, PVD black-coated for contrast.
Sapphire crystal on both front and back , ensuring clear visibility and durability.
Delivered with both a metal bracelet featuring a fine adjustment mechanism and an additional black rubber strap for versatile styling
Engineered for Excellence
At its heart is the Calibre 37-02, a hand-finished automatic movement developed and manufactured entirely in-house. With a 70-hour power reserve, column wheel with flyback function, and Panorama Date, it’s a showcase of Glashütte’s horological expertise. The movement includes:
Stop-second and flyback chronograph
30-minute and 12-hour counters
Power reserve indicator integrated into the small seconds subdial
Glashütte’s signature finishing: beveled edges, polished/blued screws, and a skeletonized rotor adorned with stripe finishing
Built on Tradition, Powered by Innovation
Founded in 1845, Glashütte Original represents the pinnacle of German watchmaking. With over 95% of movement components made in-house—including its intricate dials—the brand combines traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation. The Seventies ‘X’ Chronograph exemplifies this balance, offering collectors something both distinctive and deeply rooted in horological heritage.
