The Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01, seen from the bench

The Glashütte Original Sixties (ref. 1-39-52-08-02-01) is a contemporary reinterpretation of the Saxon manufacture's golden era from the 1960s. The 39 mm stainless steel case features a distinctive domed panoramic dial that creates exceptional optical depth and legibility through its convex geometry. Asymmetrical lugs integrate directly into the case, following its curved profile with millimetric precision. The automatic caliber 39-52 movement is visible through the display caseback, displaying classic Glashütte construction with three-quarter plate and concentrated rotor. This model requires a 20 mm strap width.

Frequently asked questions

What is the lug width of the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01?

The lug width of the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01 is 20 millimetres. This width has been maintained true to the original 1960s models, ensuring harmonious proportions between the 39 mm case and the strap lugs. Precise measurement of the internal space between the two lugs is essential to ensure complete compatibility.

Which strap is recommended for the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01?

For the Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01, we recommend alligator straps for formal occasions (peak historical elegance), European calf leather with vegetable tanning for everyday versatility, or NATO fabric for a sport-elegant interpretation. The choice depends on context: natural leather emphasises German refinement, whilst NATO offers contemporary practicality.

How do you change the strap on the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01?

The Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01 features integrated lugs, meaning the strap is connected directly to the case. The change is made using a lever-style spring bar remover or a small key supplied with the watch, which allows you to release the strap from inside the lug. We recommend having this operation performed by a specialist watchmaker or Milano Straps to ensure no scratching of the case.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01?

Yes, Milano Straps offers a comprehensive range of artisanal aftermarket straps compatible with the 20 mm lug width. All our straps are crafted using construction methodologies that respect the proportions and aesthetics of the Sixties. They are available online for personalisation and ready to ship, with quality homologated to Glashütte specifications.

How long does a leather strap last on the Glashütte Original Sixties 1-39-52-08-02-01?

A high-quality natural leather strap (alligator or calf with vegetable tanning) has an average lifespan of 3–5 years, depending on frequency of use and environmental conditions. Leather ages naturally and develops a patina, imparting character. A NATO or rubber strap has a longer lifespan (5–8 years) as synthetic materials resist wear better. Milano Straps offers replacement services when needed.
