Glashutte Original Sport Evolution Watch Review

I love these type of adjusters because they allow you to easily and quickly adjust a watch while on your wrist in order to loosen or tighten the bracelet. The deployment is a fold-over style clasp that is push button operated. Not as secure as the double locking system on a Rolex Submariner - though it feels tight enough. One little issue is that even when the deployment clasp is fully closed, its design makes it look as though it is not all the way closed as it is not entirely flush with the bracelet. This is actually necessary to allow this section of the bracelet to have flexibility, but it could have been designed a bit better in my opinion for a watch at this price.My overall feeling about the Glashutte Original Sport Evolution watch is very positive. A beautiful watch, it is also a great timepiece. What do I mean? In a nutshell, it looks and works well. Coming from a great brand, it has a solid timeless design, and a personality that can compliment just about anyone. For me, this is an underdog winner in the luxury diver watch department - and an item easily worth saving up for. Retail price is $8,900, but can be found for less via most retailers.See Glashutte Original Watches on eBay here.See Glashutte Original watches on Amazon here. The movement is proudly made entirely in Glashutte Germany.The bracelet on the Sport Evolution is a signature that this is a luxury watch. This Glashutte Original is not a light watch, but it is solid. A lot of the metal is in the bracelet, which features a cool gapless design. This means that you can't see your skin between the links. On the outside, you have an interesting design the hides a very complex construction. The Sport Evolution has an interesting choice of where to put polish. While the Submariner for example has always been known to have an all brushed bracelet, it's brother watch the GMT Master II has a bracelet with brushed links on the outside and a polished link on the inside. The Sport Evolution does the opposite of This. Thinner links on the outside have a mirror polish, while the larger inside link is brushed. It is a very fashionable choice, and purely cosmetic at this point. Look at the side of the bracelet and you'll see lots of screws that allude to the complex construction of the bracelet - which is quite comfortable on the wrist.The bracelet deployment clasp hides an interesting micro-adjust function, that can also operated as a diver's extension. It is actually operated via a button which you might not notice. The button is the double G logo on the bottom of the clasp. The metal is fitted so closely together (good) that you could easily miss it as being something you can press down. Pushing it allows the bracelet to open and close a bit to give you a good fit on the wrist.
