The Saxon One ZSM sports chronograph from Tutima Glashütte – limited edition in Racing Yellow
Pole position on the wrist! Tutima Glashütte presents a striking limited edition chronograph that embodies pure performance, self-confident sportiness and maximum precision. The letters “ZSM” in the model’s name stand for “Zentrale Stoppminute”, i.e. sweep minutes counter.
Limited to 100 timepieces, this model attracts maximum attention at first glance thanks to its dynamic and contemporary colour combination of yellow and black. The stainless steel case has been pressure-tested to 20 atmospheres (200m) and boasts an iconic ‘cushion’ shape with clearly defined edges that handsomely reflect the light and accentuate this watch’s bold appearance. The chronograph’s push-buttons blend harmoniously into the case, while lateral flanks provide additional protection for the screw-down crown.
As a particularly striking and rare complication, the elapsed minutes are counted from the dial’s centre. This highly functional and extremely practical special feature was developed and fabricated on the premises at Tutima’s manufactory in Glashütte, Germany. Central positioning on the spacious main dial assures that the elapsed minutes can be read quickly and accurately. The first quarter of the minute track, which indicates the first fifteen minutes and is important for many elapsed-time measurements, is additionally highlighted in bright yellow.
In characteristic Saxon One style, the uncompromisingly sporty look of this model is further affirmed by its nonslip rotatable bezel, which has a red marker and a luminous dot at the “12”. The sportiness of this piece is further enhanced by a comfortable and water-repellent strap made of lightweight, durable rubber.
Reliable protection is provided by antireflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystals above the dial and in the case’s screw-down back. The latter offers an unhindered view of Tutima’s shock-resistant Caliber 521 chronograph movement: the caliber automatically winds itself with every motion of its rotor, which is embellished with Tutima’s gold seal.
The Saxon One ZSM sports chronograph in Racing Yellow is strictly limited to 100 pieces worldwide so be quick if you want one on your wrist.

Saxon One - Being edgy. The new aesthetic
The Saxon One is a wristwatch full of character – sporty and elegant at the same time – establishing an entirely new style in the world of German watches. Sharp lines of light dominate the steely architecture and separate the finely satin-finished from the polished surfaces. The three-dimensional, pyramid-shaped bezel achieves a harmonious transition to a subtly designed rotating bezel, whose elegance finely underscores the dynamic chronograph. The screw-in crown is well protected between two high flanks, which harmoniously build a unit with the large pushers set well into the case.
The mechanical movement of the Saxon One is outfitted with automatic winding and offers a power reserve of 44 hours. The heart of the chronograph is our own caliber Tutima 521; thanks to it, the Saxon One enjoys our own chronograph module, which displays the large sweep minute counter. The movement is shock-protected and water-resistant to 20 atm underneath a screw-down case back with a sapphire crystal window. The slightly domed crystal above the dial is also made of sapphire crystal and is anti-reflective, showcasing every detail of the dial with its applied markers and fine scales. The Saxon One is available as a three-handed automatic in a 42–mm case and as a – slightly larger – chronograph, outfitted with a choice of opaline silver- white or opaline anthracite dial as well as a stainless steel link bracelet or hand-stitched alligator strap.
The Saxon One is additionally available in a ladies’ version measuring 36 mm in diameter, which stands out in its elegance, particularly when outfitted with a diamond-set bezel.
