Basel 2013: Glashütte Original Senator Panorama Datum und Senator Panoramadatum Mondphase

German luxury watchmaker Glashütte Original continues to engage with the art of design, presenting quintessential expressions of the Manufactory in clearly contemporary new editions: the Senator Panorama Date and Senator Panorama Date Moonphase.

The Glashütte Original in-house design team has made a number of changes to the existing models to achieve a stunning new look that is both classic and contemporary at once. The bezel has been cut back to make room for a lacquered silver-grain dial whose finely textured surface forms a sumptuous backdrop for deep black Roman numerals and a classic black railroad chapter ring. Glashütte Original’s compelling panorama date display is presented in black on an ivory ground matching the colour of the dial, and new blued-steel “poire” shaped hands enhance the elegance of the new design.

Along with the superb new dial visuals, the Saxon Manufactory’s in-house designers have made a number of more subtle but no less effective changes. The existing version uses a button at 8 o’clock to reset the panorama date; the new version replaces with button with a corrector inset in the case. The new timepieces are presented in a 40mm case both polished and brushed surfaces, either in red gold or stainless steel version, and the broader Louisiana alligator bracelet attaches in a traditional fashion. The red gold model is complemented by one in stainless steel.

The Senator Panorama Date Moonphase presents a magnificent silver moon and stars against a deep blue sky. The moonphase edition of the contemporary Senator Panorama Date presents the same set of design changes – including the lustrous lacquered silver-grain dial with black Roman numerals, black railroad chapter ring and black on ivory panorama date display – and is available, like its companion, in red gold and stainless steel versions with a matt black Louisiana alligator leather bracelet with a red gold or stainless steel foldover clasp.

The Senator Panorama Date is driven by the Saxon Manufactory’s superb automatic Caliber 100-03, the Senator Panorama Date Moonphase by the Caliber 100-04, both with a 55 hour power reserve. Easily admired through the generous sapphire crystal set in the case back, the Calibre 100 features a screw balance with 18 weighted screws in gold, twin spring barrels, swan- neck fine adjustment, skeletonized rotor with 21-carat oscillating weight, and the exquisite finishings characteristic of the Glashütte, Saxony based watchmaker.
