As a dynamic international capital with a charged history and the host city of the eponymous film festival, of which Glashütte Original is one of the principal partners, Berlin was the perfect place for an innovative online launch of the new Senator Chronograph Panorama Date - Capital Edition.
This limited series of watches comes with edgy urban overtones to the classic Glashütte Original styling. The watches are available in a 42mm diameter case in stainless steel (100 pieces) and rose gold (25 pieces) with a smoky “Bourbon Grey” dial, as well as a strictly limited series of just five models in platinum with a dial in “Dry Silver”.
It is definitely the dials, produced in-house by Glashütte Original, that set these models apart. In addition to the unusual background colours, contrasting accents in beige, white and blue give the new collection an unmistakable contemporary feel. In the dark, Super-LumiNova gives the white-gold hour, minute and stop seconds hands, the Roman numerals at hours 6 and 12 and the hour indexes an impressive green glow - a perfect match for the dizzy lights of any capital city.
The characteristic Glashütte Original Panorama Date is given clear pride of place at 6 o'clock, while the power reserve display is set discreetly within the small seconds sub-dial. The contrasting white stitching of the calfskin strap in brown or blue is a further, original element of style. The metal bracelet's patented 8-step fine adjustment mechanism guarantees optimum comfort with the stainless steel version of the watch. The rose gold and platinum versions of the Senator Chronograph – The Capital Edition come in a special collector’s box, in which an additional strap will be included.
Calibre 37: Robust, reliable and precise
The Senator Chronograph – The Capital Edition is equipped with Glashütte Original's in-house Calibre 37 movement. The innovative flyback chronograph with 4 Hertz automatic movement and column wheel mechanism was developed to assure the highest standards in terms of stability, aesthetics, precision and ease of maintenance. And a look through the integrated chronograph's sapphire crystal case back reveals all the classic features of a Glashütte watch, including the three-quarter plate, the screw balance with four adjustment screws, the swan-neck fine adjustment and the skeletonized rotor with its 21-carat gold oscillating mass.
