The SeaQ Panorama Date (ref. 1-36-13-01-81-71) is Glashütte Original's modern dive watch, 43.2mm steel, 300m water resistance, the in-house caliber 36-13 with the brand's panorama big-date at four, and dial-design language traced directly to the 1969 Spezimatic Type RP TS 200 the GDR-era Glashütte workshops produced for the East German domestic market. It is one of the few haute-tier German dive watches in the catalog and the brand's most direct claim to sport-watch credibility.
The original Spezimatic Type RP TS 200 was a 1969 dive watch produced by VEB Glashütter Uhrenbetriebe, the East German watchmaking combine that controlled the Glashütte workshops between 1951 and 1990. The 200m water-resistance figure was unusual for the period and the design (cushion case, oversized minute markers, sword hands) became a small cult reference among GDR-era collectors. Glashütte Original revived the line in 2019 as the SeaQ; the Panorama Date generation added the brand's signature big-date complication and the in-house caliber 36-13 with 100-hour reserve.
The 39.5mm (no-date) and 43.2mm (Panorama Date) variants both ship; the larger reference is the family's commercial center.
Common things to check: bezel insert (the SeaQ uses a ceramic insert with 60-click bidirectional ratcheting on the no-date variant and unidirectional on the dive-certified Panorama Date, verify directionality matches the reference); papers and the brand's chronometer certificate (the caliber 36-family chronometer card should accompany the watch); helium-escape valve (the SeaQ is rated to 300m but does not include a helium-escape valve, divers should not confuse it with saturation-rated references); strap/bracelet (the watch ships with quick-release straps and the brand's signature steel bracelet, confirm which is included against the box contents); caliber 36-13 (verify the free-sprung balance and the panorama date alignment through the case-back).
Steel SeaQ Panorama Date examples trade in the $9,000-$12,500 range through 2025-2026, against a current retail of approximately $13,500. The reference is one of the catalog's quieter sport-watch positions. Glashütte Original has not pursued the sport-watch market with the marketing intensity that drove the Submariner / Aquatimer / Royal Oak premiums, and pricing has been steadier as a result.
Cross-shopped against the Blancpain Bathyscaphe or the Tudor Pelagos, the SeaQ sits in the middle of the spectrum and offers in-house finishing the Sellita-based competitors do not match.
Service is Glashütte Original-direct. Expect 4-8 month turnaround and a low-four-figure service bill. The caliber 36-13's date module adds modest complexity to the service workflow but is well-understood by the brand's service department.
Water-resistance testing is part of every factory service; an example that has not been pressure-tested in 5+ years should not be used for actual diving without service first.
