Glashütte Original, for its annual edition of 2019, presents the Sixties and Sixties Panorama Date in multi-faceted orange.
Starting from a golden yellow at the centre, the color flows across the curved surface, changing to fiery orange and red before reaching the black perimeter. Credit for this impressive ensemble of different hues also known as the dégradé effect goes to the experts at Glashütte own dial manufactory in Pforzheim. After a galvanic bath gives the dial its golden yellow hue the dialmakers carefully apply a series of layers in red and black lacquer. The result of this filigreed craftsmanship is an individual color gradient that renders each dial unique. In a final step, the dials are heated in a kiln in order to burn in the colors.
The low-relief pattern is produced using the original tools and methods from the 1960s. Each dial blank receives its embossing with the aid of a 60-tonne press, which was already in use at the Pforzheim manufactory at the time. During the 1960's, cross-border cooperation also allowed Pforzheim to deliver dials to Glashütte for the Spezimatic. The partnership began more than 50 years ago and culminated with the integration of the dialmaker into the Glashütte Original manufactory in 2012.
As the annual edition for 2019, the Sixties and Sixties Panorama Date are available only for a limited period of time from Glashütte Original Boutiques and selected authorised dealers worldwide.
