Glashütte Original has put a lot of focus on their chunky Seventies Chronograph over the past several years. As a consequence, the time-and-date version faded into the background a bit. Well, no longer, as GO just the other day introduced the new 70s collection, with a smaller case, a new dial, a newer movement and a quick-change strap system. And boy, is it cool.

The previous variant of the Seventies Panorama Date came in at 40mm wide and 11.5mm thick, so the new dimensions sound like a dream. The width went down to 39mm, which is fine, but the fantastic lug-to-lug of 43.7mm and even better thickness of just 9.6mm make this a supremely wearable watch. Can't wait to try one on. The case is satin brushed with polished bevels, and there are sapphire crystals on top and bottom. Water resistance is 100 meters.

Now, for a bit of bad news. The Panorama Date had one of the more impressive date displays on the market, with a huge double aperture dominating the dial. That date is unfortunately gone now, replaced by a pretty standard date window at 3 o'clock. But I assume that was the sacrifice that had to be made to slim down the watch. Is it a good move? For most, yes. For my gorilla wrists, the big date was better. But I dig this change. The new watches come in three colors, finished with an hexagonal grid texture, applied solid gold indices and solid gold obelisk hands with Super-LumiNova. Vinyl Record pairs a matte black dial with white gold, Tweed Amp a brown dial with 5N red gold, and Stereo Panel a silver dial with black-coated gold.

Inside is the in-house calibre 36, replacing the calibre 39-47 and taking the power reserve from about 40 hours to 100\. That's very cool. It still beats at 4Hz with a silicon hairspring, and the finishing through the caseback is proper Glashütte: ribbed three-quarter plate, hand-engraved balance cock, blued screws and a 21k gold rotor. Vinyl Record gets the black-rhodium calibre 36-10; the other two use the rhodium-plated 36-11\. Straps are calfskin-lined rubber on the new Groove Lock system, which is their proprietary quick release system. The steel bracelet uses the same connection and a double-fold clasp with 3mm of fine adjustment.
