Glashütte Original has launched a new 'Spezialist' collection 'for modern adventurers' and the diver's watch SeaQ is the first to be included. At just under 40mm and with an in-house movement, it's a slim, light but robust watch with 200m of water resistance. The design is based on a 1969 Glashütte watch from the days when the company was in East Germany. It's legible and attractive with a vintage feel which matches its sensible size.
I loved the watch (which was lent to me, at my request) and felt that a vaguely maritime feel was appropriate when stying the watch. It comes on either a vintage-style rubber strap (as here) or a bracelet. A SeaQ 1969 model differs slightly with different colours of luminous hands and numerals (pictured bottom left below).
I wear the SeaQ here with a navy submariner's roll neck from Beacon & Armour, chinos from Cordings of Piccadilly, mohair socks from Marwood and brogues from Loake.

My tour of the Glashütte Original factory is featured here.
This is part of an occasional series in which I style watches with an outfit. The feature is unsponsored. I'm always on the lookout for watches, new and vintage, to include here, so do get in touch.
