The Glashütte Original reference 1-39-11-09-81-08 SeaQ is a decent looking dive watch from the deep blue dial, ceramic bezel insert and 39.5 mm case. The finish is excellent as would be expected from a Glashütte Original.
I love the deep blue galvanised sunray dial with applied index and oversize numerals. The SeaQ alternates between index markers and roman numerals and the large pano date is tastefully done. This is unusual as I dislike date windows, mostly because I change watches frequently and I can’t read the date anyway.
For technical specifications, the 39-11 inhouse automatic movement has 25 jewels, the 28,800 vibrations per hour, or 4 Hz is industry standard. The 40 hour power reserve is sufficient but I see the benefit of the 60 hour power reserve so you can take the watch off on a Friday and it still is running Monday morning.
It is not cheap, this dive timepiece will set you back around $13,900 AUD but I feel the SeaQ is way beyond the Rolex Submariner that it will no doubt be compared against. To be fair, the SeaQ should be compared against the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, the real measurement of the dive watch. This is a fantastic dive timepiece, I like the domed crystal, the sunburst blue dial and Arabic numerals on every second index, the three link bracelet is pretty decent too.
