Glashutte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition SS Green Dial

The Glashutte Original Sixties Chronograph Annual Edition reference 1-39-34-05-22-04 is a vivid interpretation of the brand's Vintage Collection, released as the 2021 annual edition. Its domed green dial is produced using period-correct techniques, with an embossed surface and a degrades finish that shifts from a brighter center to darker tones at the edge, giving the watch unusual depth and character. The 42 mm stainless steel case remains notably slim for an automatic chronograph, preserving the elegant profile that defines the Sixties line. Inside is the in-house caliber 39-34, an automatic chronograph movement finished to a high Glashutte standard with a three-quarter plate, swan-neck fine adjustment, and a skeletonized rotor carrying a 21 carat gold oscillating weight. The display is clean and balanced, with central chronograph seconds, a 30-minute counter, and small seconds arranged in a manner that stays faithful to the restrained design language of the period. As an annual edition, this reference was limited by production period rather than by a numbered run, which gives it a distinct place within the modern Glashutte Original catalog. Collectors are drawn to these annual editions for their short production windows, individually expressive dial colors, and strong connection to the manufacture's historic dial-making expertise in Germany. The green variant stands out as one of the more striking executions, pairing vintage-inspired typography and shaped crystals with a highly finished modern movement. It is a thoughtful blend of nostalgic design and serious Saxon watchmaking, making it especially appealing to buyers who value manufacture content as much as aesthetics.
