Glashütte Original's New Limited-Edition Chronograph Is an Ode to '70s Style
If you want to snag Glashütte Original's latest timepiece, you'll have to head to a North American retailer near you.
For the first time, the Swiss watchmaker has dropped a piece just for the third-largest continent. The North American Exclusive Seventies 'X' Chronograph, limited to just 100 models, was created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Seventies line, an homage to 1970s-style watches.

For the special release, Glashütte Original takes its design cues from a relaxed American spirit. Here, that means the watch is done up in its signature square stainless-steel case. It also means a classic panda face: The watch pairs its matte-white lacquer dial, along with two galvanized subdials in a vinyl-style pattern. In addition to white indices, the 40 mm timepiece is also equipped with a red 10 marker, a nod to the anniversary, and a red stop-second chronograph.
The Seventies 'X' Chronograph is also home to the brand's caliber 37-02, with a 70-hour power reserve on the small-second subdial. Other features include Glashütte Original's Panorama Date and a column-wheel flyback function, as well as both a 30-minute display and a 12-hour display.
And if you don't feel like deciding between various strap styles, you're in luck. Each of the 100 limited-edition watch comes with both a rubber strap and a stainless-steel bracelet. The North American Exclusive Seventies 'X' Chronograph is on offer at authorized dealers, with a retail price of $17,900.
Glashütte Original's latest release comes just ahead of Watch Week Aspen 2025, which is set to run from August 7 to 10. 16 other brands are also making the pilgrimage to Colorado for the occasion, including A. Lange & Söhne, Audemars Piguet, and IWC. Omega will also be in the mix for the first time this year; the Swiss watch maker had quite a showing at Wimbledon this year, with devotees Andrew Garfield and Eddie Redmayne rocking a De Ville Trésor and a Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades, respectively. Who knows, we could see Glashütte Original's latest launch on a celebrity wrist soon enough, too.
