Glashutte Original Sport Evolution GMT watch

The Glashutte Original Sport Evolution GMT watch is a sports timepiece of distinction. Combining exalted German craftsmanship and superb engineering with a new dual-timezone complication, this Glashutte Original timepiece has been long awaited by timepiece collectors and travelers desiring a wrist companion of distinction.

The case of the Glashutte Original Sport Evolution GMT watch is hewn from a solid billet of premium stainless steel or 18K rose gold, and measures a masculine 42mm in diameter. Close examination reveals the care in its craftsmanship, as well as the superb refinement, which is eloquently revealed in the sophisticated contrasts between polished and satin finished surfaces. Large shoulders surround the screw-down crown, shielding it from impacts, and an exceptionally hard convex sapphire crystal spans the dial, integrating perfectly with the profile of the bi-directional 24-hour rotating bezel. Thanks to the screw-down crown and carefully insulated case, water resistance is assured to a depth of 100 meters.

Glashutte Original is famed for the depth of its manufacture expertise. The Caliber 39 movement which animates the Sport Evolution GMT watch is no exception, being renowned for its mechanical excellence, reliability and fine finishing details. Featuring an efficient self-winding system equipped with a central rotor, the Caliber 39 has been modified for this watch to offer some highly useful complications. A true delight for any globetrotter, the primary 12-hour hand may be moved ahead by pressing the upper button on the side of the case, while pressing the lower button takes the hour hand backwards. During this operation, the minute and second hands stay set properly, meaning that no accuracy is lost as one crosses various timezones. Meanwhile, a secondary timezone of choice, be it UTC, or hometime, may be kept track of via the 24-hour hand and the bezel. Even more flexibility may be had thanks to the rotating bezel, which allows a third temporary timezone to be accessed.

The exclusive panorama date feature is also outstanding, and is emblematic of Glashutte Original's mechanical creativity; featuring two concentric discs, this date function is supremely legible, elegant, and offers instantaneous switching. A sapphire crystal window in the caseback allows one an expansive view of this fine mechanical movement, which is refined with Glashutte striping on the three-quarter plate and rotor, sunburst-patterns on the winding wheels, and a 21K gold segment on the rotor. In stainless steel, the Glashutte Original Sport Evolution GMT watch is presented on a durable fabric "Trieste" strap, or a matching stainless steel bracelet which is notable for its exceptional fit and finish, as well as its ingenious and extremely elegant concealed micro-adjustment system.

In 18K rose gold, the watch is fitted with the sporty "Trieste" strap, or a more formal alternative in fine alligator, either of which is united to a massive rose gold buckle. A purposeful and finely detailed black dial completes each watch, offering sporty red designations, and bold luminous indications that ensure outstanding legibility in any lighting condition.
