Another Glashütte Spezichron Diver

I have another Glashutte Spezichron diver watch. Spezichron comes from the term spezial or special chronometer. This watch is also powered by a GUB Cal. 11-27 movement that runs at 28,800 beats per hour. While considered a diver, it is not as water resistant as desired. The crown is not the screwback kind and so should not be used for showers or swimming. I've used it for washing and watering the plants in the garden though and it has held well so far.

The light-colored dial has day and date features. The day wheel is in German.

Case back showing the words stating the watch to be of stainless steel, water resistant and shock resistant. It also shows the watch to be Made in GDR (German Democratic Republic or East Germany).

This is a rare model but not as rare and desirable as the other Glashütte diver that I have. Still, this is another keeper for now.
