Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Chronograph

The Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Chronograph watch presents a superb combination of sports-bred durability, and elite hand craftsmanship.

An exemplary creation of refined German watchmaking skill, the Sport Evolution Chronograph is a luxury watch that can accompany its owner anywhere, always exuding refinement and the unmistakable aura of superb quality. Massively crafted, the 42mm case of this Glashutte Original watch is made from a solid ingot of stainless steel or 18K rose gold. Brushed surfaces predominate, contrasted by brilliantly polished elements on case lug bevels and the crown guards which lend an air of refinement. A convex crystal made from scratch-resistant sapphire spans the dial, surrounded by a tachymeter bezel that allows the calibration of elapsed time, via the chronograph central hand.

According to the model, a silver or black dial is offered for both steel and 18K gold models; a model of fine detail, the dial features a number of distinctive elements, including polished and faceted hour markers, a concentric-circle pattern on the chronograph subdials, and hour and minute counters which are highlighted by contrasting circular elements. Red accents around the periphery of the dial, and the tip of the chronograph central hand provide a thematic element that suggests speed, performance, and daring. The Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Chronograph watch is equipped with a screw-secured caseback that is fitted with a sapphire crystal window. Through this window, a wearer may admire the Caliber 39, a self-winding mechanical movement designed and manufactured by Glashutte.

The chief technical characteristics of this caliber include a balance wheel frequency of 28,800 alternations per hour, a power reserve of approximately 40-hours, and a chronograph mechanism with 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers. Great care has been lavished upon the decorative elements of this movement, and demonstrate the skill of the watchmaker; Glashutte ribbing shines on the three quarters plate and rotor, while the winding wheels display a striking sunburst pattern. A heavy, 21K gold segment on the edge of the rotor is an exclusive touch which adds additional mass to ensure optimum winding efficiency. Thanks to the carefully constructed case design, and screw-down winding crown, this precious mechanism is protected from the damaging effects of water all the way to a depth of 200 meters.

In 18K rose gold, the Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Chronograph watch is offered on either a durable "trieste" fabric strap with contrasting red stitching, or an elegant alligator strap; a rose gold tang buckle is standard on both. The stainless steel version is presented on the trieste strap, or an equally sporty rubber strap that is decorated with the Glashutte Original brand signature. An extremely appealing option is the unique stainless steel bracelet--a superb demonstration of manufacturing excellence, this luxurious design offers superb comfort thanks to its intricate construction, and impresses with its impeccable attention to finishing detail. A special feature is the innovative clasp which offers an invisible fine adjustment system.
