Glashütte Original SeaQ Panorama Date - DIN 8306 & ISO 6425 Test + Excellence Test

#glashuetteoriginal #SeaQ #PanoramaDate
In this video I invite you to a look behind the scenes in Glashütte / Saxony / Germany @ Glashütte Original. Its manufacturing process is distinguished by a very high degree of vertical integration. So almost everything is done in-house, except the alligator-Straps maybe, since Glashütte Original does not have its own crocodile farm in the backyard.
The Glashütte Original SeaQ Panorama Date is the manufacturers new ticking superstar and in the video we follow part of its manufacturing process + the demanding DIN 8306 & ISO 6425 test + Excellence test.
DIN 8306 & ISO 6425 Test
Combining the DIN 8306 & ISO 6425 test will assure that every SeaQ Panorama Date is water-resistant to 300 meters and thus suitable for professional divers. The DIN and ISO tested SeaQ Panorama Date SeaQ Panorama Date meets the most rigorous quality standards in terms of water and shock resistance, prevention of salt water corrosion, and many other criteria.
Glashütte Original Excellence Test
The exquisitely finished, in-house developed and manufactured 36-13 automatic calibre offering 100 hours of power reserve, with bevelled edges, polished steel parts, blued/polished screws, a Glashütte three-quarter plate with stripe finish, a skeletonized rotor with 21 carat gold oscillation weight, an adjustment of rate by adjustment screws, a fine adjustment of rate symmetry by a swan-neck spring and a silicon hairspring undergoes together with the entire watch is tested for 24 days - under conditions extending even beyond a chronometer test. An engraving and individual test certificate act as quality seals for every watch.

[@quarters-eye8922]

Great video Alexander. I never knew Glashutte performed such incredible testing like this. The SeaQ Panorama is a fantastic looking watch. Thank you once again, for making this incredible video.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Only when you go so far and test that way you will deliver a perfect watch and a quality without any flaw. A Glashütte Original is more expensive than another watch ... Yes, but you really get a perfect wristwatch from a small luxury watch manufacturer producing a couple of thousand watches a year and not millions...

[@Sandbag1300]

I just purchased the SeaQ Blue 39.5 mm on a fully brushed bracelet. I also purchased the Glashutte rubber strap for summer wear. Outstanding finishing and fully in-house movement are what sold me on this watch instead of another Rolex. It keeps time in all six positions better than my GMT Master 2. I like that no one knows what it is at a distance but in a close up viewing it steals the show compared to a Rolex. As a daily wear, I never have to wind it - ever.

[@imranchowdhury4972]

Thank you Alexander for showing us such a nice presentation on the Glashutte Original watches. After watching this video I was convinced why Glashutte is charging such a high price for their pieces. For the first time I came to know that their watches are adjusted into all 6 positions which is rare in watchmaking. Moreover for the first time I came to know that they provide you a certificate having the accuracy and water pressure testing report which then no longer required for a COSC certificate. Thanks once again for enhancing our knowledge with your such big effort.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Imran Chowdhury First of all THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts and the positive feedback. You name it: When testing a watch like Glashütte Original does the COSC certificate is pretty obsolete, yet might be seen as „kiddie stuff“. COSC testing, as I already explained somewhere here in the comment section, today can only be the base for additional though and rigorous testing. COSC only tests the movement. If you want to be serious you have to test the entire ready-to-sell-watch. And this is what Glashütte Original does. It’s good for both sides - the manufacturer and the customer - since both know that the watch will work properly. Glashütte Original deserves much more attention and I am so happy to read that I was able to bring some useful information to my viewers...

[@Remember66-KeepTheFaith]

After having owned the watch for three weeks now, I can say the following. The rate deviation in a week is actually 1 second. simply sensational! The additional rubber strap with folding clasp is a bit too long for a 18 cm wrist. I'm there in the penultimate hole. Buyers with slim arms must therefore switch to the fabric strap or steel strap. Overall, a high-end watch at a relatively low price. If you are looking for something special and still want to stand out from the crowd, you should grab it. pure understatement and still exclusivity.

[@548vikings]

WatchAdvisor: Five years ago I saw a picture of a plain Original Senator in a magazine at the doctor’s office. Smitten, but didn’t have any clue about luxury watches. Glashutte had the inside track from that point and I looked at every brand. Once the divers came out it was just a matter of time. Your videos and other reviews finally did it. My daughter just turned 18 so she got an Oris Aquis and I finally got my Panorama. Zero remorse and feeling of accomplishment.

[@izaazkhalili]

However stringent the testing & quality control, on some rare occasions luck does play a role. I was a bit unlucky that I encountered a problem with my SeaQ Panorama Date 6 months into ownership. A tiny little screw in the movement broke and got stuck under the rotor making it unable to turn / wind the watch. Sent it back to Glashutte. The Customer Service Manager, Hardy Koppe was very professional and helpful. Upon checking they discovered that the batch of screws that was used for my SeaQ was not up to their specification. All was taken care of and everything is well & good now. My only gripe is Swatch Group in my country is not taking good care of Glashutte Original as a brand. The after sale service is mediocre to say the least. It is a sad scenario because I just love Glashutte Original.

[@jameshoward9700]

Thank you and GO for sharing this with us. A privilege to see such thorough engineering. For me, GO are becoming the German JLC and I'm very pleased to see them focussing on quality and horological innovation. Thanks to SWATCH for giving them their freedom. However, while I'd buy the SeaQ Date in a heartbeat (and a Pano and a Senator Observer!), I'm not a fan of their large sizing - very Glashutte. 43mm for a luxury diver is very large and while the SeaQ is a 39mm, it's an inferior (though still solid) legacy movement. Nonetheless, one I see coming to my collection!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Interesting read... Concerning the 43 mm I want to add that size in fact matters for divers/sports watches... Same applies for SUVs and many more luxury goods ... The 39 mm is a very good offer and the calibre used (even being older) still a very good one ...

[@69opsman]

I got the blue one today, I was surprised that the large size looked good on my wrist, I usually wear seamaster, sub, speedmaster or reverso, so when my wife said the watch "looked like me" I bought it and am wearing it as I type this. Do not let the size put you off, the way it's designed it does not appear oversized. I can confirm the fit and finish is a step up from my other 2 divers more in line with my JLC. Operationally my job deals with the sea and this is more legible for my work. It may just be that I'm getting older but it is easier for me to read.

[@jameshoward9700]

@@69opsman Thanks for that feedback - always invaluable to hear from a real-world user. Like you, I use my dive watches as intended. But while I have many divers of the Tuna, Marinemaster, Planet Ocean, Sea-Dweller type, I'm finding it hard to find a daily-wear piece with high levels of watchmaking, that is not so thick/slightly smaller. Blancpain, GO and GS (new stunners on the way!) are the obvious options, but all are 15mm/43mm+, save the Bathyscaph (not a fan) and SeaQ. But, I shall take your advice and try on the SeaQ Pano! That movement really is special and as I move into middle age, I also see the advantage of the big date! Thanks.

That’s impossible to answer Rodrigo. You have to try both watches on your wrist and make up your mind. Buy emotionally and let your heart speak to you.

I think it looks more special (well, at least to me) and to be honest, I love how the Arabic numbers looks like - it make the watch very legible and to be honest, I like when the numbers are applied and not printed.

John, good morning from Vienna! I’m happy to read you liked the video. Thank you for the feedback...

[@johnmanley4528]

WatchAdvisor Hello from LA! The amount of detail that goes into making the watches is amazing.

[@WatchAdvisor]

In fact it is! I will focus on more such videos in the future... Next one to come is how a Panerai Submersible in a bronze case is manufactured ...

[@johnmanley4528]

WatchAdvisor Wow. Look forward to it!

[@Totti7982]

is the 39.5 mm model equaly tested like the 43.5 mm model on shock resistance?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Yes! Same tests apply for both watches…

[@manusego]

😍👏😍👏😍👏

[@WatchAdvisor]

manusego 🙏🙏🙏

[@WatchAdvisor]

Since so many of you asked the same question and wanted to know the measurement from lug tip to lug tip (the length of the entire watch) here come the answers: 51,5 mm for the SeaQ version with Panorama Date and for the 39 mm SeaQ version without Panorama Date it is 47,21 mm.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Tom Austin Of course both!!!

[@toproll8514]

In other words, if you still want an Industrial Submariner rather than a Sea Q after watching this video...then you are blind !

[@WatchAdvisor]

Love your comment! Thanks for sharing 😉

[@BeckVMH]

Wonderful video and glimpse into one of the most impressive manufacturers. I can’t help but mention... 7:23 Quartz. I know, I understand the tick required, but just seems ironic given our obsession with mechanical watches. Illustrates there is a place for a quartz movement.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Stevee Wonders The acoustic ticking is used to set each watch for the 24 days lasting accuracy test. Once precisely set to zero and restarted you can observe only by listening to the ticking on the dial of the SeaQ if you’ve done your job. And yes therefore quartz makes sense... thanks for sharing and the positive feedback!

[@jamespalsson746]

I dream they could make a panorama sub at 40mm or smaller (ofc with a more realistic power reserve to that size)

[@WatchAdvisor]

You mean a version with panorama date that is 40 mm?

[@josepirl1]

I agree; max 41 mm diameter. BTW, I'm amazed how Nomos is able to make 200m wr watch with 10mm thickness. Bravo for Nomos.

[@WatchAdvisor]

@@josepirl1 That's for sure a remarkable technical achievement. Also Bulgari has a very thin Diver in its collection. The watch is called "Diagono Scuba" and is 300 meters waterproof...

[@josepirl1]

@@WatchAdvisor I didn't know. Thanks so much.

[@vincentchampion8986]

So could you safely use this watch in a sauna, hot tub, or shower?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Sauna and hot tub - no! Shower depending on the temperature - yes! It is not a question of waterproofness, but temperature… sauna and hot tub simply is too much for a mechanical movement…

[@shuabshungne8043]

@@WatchAdvisor ... but not for a cheap Seiko! My 35,- Euro Seiko withstands sauna, hot tub and of course shower, swimming and also snorkeling.

[@jayjay9932]

Who the heck needs a watch in sauna, hot tub or shower?

[@andreibuldakov2641]

Have you ever been to sauna? You do need watch in sauna.. But most of the time sauna has a wallwatch

[@vincentchampion8986]

It’s not about needing a watch in these situations but I wager the average person is much more likely to forget to take their watch off in these situations such as before taking a shower than they are to go diving 300 meters so it would be nice if a watch so meticulously crafted could survive the conditions we would actually put them through. I still have nightmare about the day I accidentally knocked my Ulysse Nardin watch off the bathroom counter and the small seconds hand popped off.

[@Alhazmi75]

that’s why fine watches expensive high quality control costs money 👏

[@WatchAdvisor]

Every single step of manufacturing a watch at this level is expensive. The automatic movement 36-13 is a real first class engine with its silicon hairspring.

[@caet49]

Super presentation🙌 however the hole thing about the background and story of the SeaQ is a bit off since this compagny dont really have a nautic background....but maybe it Will come with this watch....that I do belive is drop dead beautiful🤙

[@WatchAdvisor]

Christian Zimmermann Witt Such a cool watch does not necessarily need a giant “waterproof” history. Fact is that in 1969 they created a very robust and satisfying waterproof watch that meant to resist the “challenging” demands of an upcoming new lifestyle including new, rougher leisure activities. The SeaQ today is exactly the same: A perfect watch for rougher and more demanding leisure time activities. Like a Range Rover, the new Land Rover Defender or a Porsche Cayenne...

[@caet49]

WatchAdvisor on that we Can agree👌

[@WatchAdvisor]

It’s just a question where you put the focus on. You shouldn’t simply go too far...

[@matthewdavis8199]

I've been in love with that watch since your last video, but I'm afraid it is just a bit too large for my wrist. Does anyone know the lug tip to lug tip measurement? Thanks!

[@WatchAdvisor]

lug to lug 21 mm / the case measures 43,2 & 15,65 mm

[@matthewdavis8199]

@@WatchAdvisor I really appreciate your response. The measurement I'm looking for is the length of the case, lug tip (twelve o'clock side) to the lug tip (six o'clock side). For example my Senator Panorama Date measures approximately 47mm. Thanks again!

[@WatchAdvisor]

@@matthewdavis8199 I will call Glashütte Original tomorrow and find out for you... Just checked all my technical informations I have... unfortunately this length is not mentioned ...

Excellent presentation - thanks. The in-house testing process is probably be the worst punishment some of these watches will ever see!

[@WatchAdvisor]

Eoin, the rigorous in-house testing will give the manufacturer the answers he is looking for and will guarantee that the watch will likely be almost indestructible. So what you wrote about the "worst punishment" is true. Most of us wearing such a watch will probably never push the limits so far ... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your positive feedback.

[@WatchAdvisor]

Very good input and feedback! I couldn't agree more! @TopSecretVid It's so true, Dresden is such a beautiful city, loaded with history and culture...

[@1ce2berg]

This or Blancpain Fifty Fathoms?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Both! No I am kidding... I couldn't decide though... Best will be to try them both and compare them 1:1 and then let your heart decide... it won't lie... Keep us posted please...

[@ashtonkee5868]

And the next step they should do is to add an anti magnetism test to their process.

[@WatchAdvisor]

The behavior of the movement/watch is tested under the influence of magnetic fields, but of course not at the strength of Omega...

[@ashtonkee5868]

WatchAdvisor Do you mean at the same strength as Omega or is the word “not” missing from your sentence? What about impact / drop test the way Breitling does with their watches by swinging a hammer and slamming it into the watch head?

[@WatchAdvisor]

Not was missing of course!!! What BREITLING does is a standard test where you simulate the drop of a watch from the height of your wrist when you stand on the floor with a very hard surface.

[@ashtonkee5868]

WatchAdvisor the question is of course whether GO includes such drop test for their watches especially for such a diving watch that is subject to hard use???

[@WatchAdvisor]

The in French so called mouton pendule test (Charpy impact test) is part of EVERY serious movement and case production. The entire assembled watch is tested and MUST pass the test ...
