What to know

Glashütte Original’s new time-and-date 70s reduces the familiar television-shaped steel case to 39mm wide and 9.6mm thick. The earlier oversized date gives way to a single framed aperture, leaving space for a hexagonal embossed dial. Beige, silver and black versions use names drawn from vintage audio equipment.

The automatic calibre 36-10/36-11 family brings a stated 100-hour reserve, with the decorated movement visible through sapphire. Revised hands, faceted markers and a smaller crown guard sharpen the compact silhouette. September launch reporting listed US prices of $13,200 on a rubber strap with calfskin lining and $14,500 on the steel bracelet.
