In May 2019, Glashütte Original unveiled a new version with a dark blue dial and red gold case of its PanoMaticLunar model. Today, the German watchmaker presents a limited edition of 50 pieces, featuring a striking, elaborately crafted dial in an unusually sensual rose opaline hue.
The new PanoMaticLunar Rose Opaline presents a special play of two distinct colours: the applied hour markers, moon phase display and sword-shaped hands set blue accents and blend easily into the warm, soft hue of the dial. The characteristic Panorama Date, too, with its white numerals on blue discs, takes up the rich blue hue and stands in harmonious contrast to the rose opaline dial. This special colour is the result of a special galvanization procedure performed in the watchmaker's in-house dial manufactory in Pforzheim, Germany. The process involves placing the dial for a precisely specified length of time in a galvanic bath under a constant electrical charge in order to achieve the desired soft hue.
As is the case with all models in the Pano Collection, this new limited edition presents an unmistakable design. The dial, with its characteristic off-centre displays, is framed by a polished and satin-brushed stainless steel case. The auxiliary dials for hours and minutes and the small seconds dial are aligned along a vertical axis within the left half of the dial, while the Panorama Date is positioned at 4 o'clock.
The sapphire glass case back offers a clear view of the finely finished Calibre 90-02. This automatic movement has a frequency of 28,800 vph and a 42-hour power reserve.
The PanoMaticLunar Rose Opaline is fitted with a matching dark blue Louisiana alligator leather strap with pin buckle or fold fastener, and is available worldwide from all Glashütte Original Boutiques.
