For Baselworld 2015 two new versions of the PanoReserve and PanoMaticLunar make their debut at the same time. The two timepieces from the successful Pano Collection are now available in red gold versions with a matt black dial, and in polished/satin brushed stainless steel editions with a dark blue dial. WorldTempus presented the PanoMaticLunar a couple of days ago. Let's unveil today the PanoReserve.
The dials are made in Glashütte Original's own dial manufactory in Pforzheim. Up to 40 separate operations, performed by true masters of their craft, are required to produce the refined and carefully finished dials. For the PanoReserve, the application of the graphic elements alone requires six separate steps. The dial manufactory team's extensive experience allowed them to develop the perfectly tuned colours – intense blue and mysterious black – that give the new models their radiant glow.
The red gold version of the PanoReserve presents a dial in a matt black tone with hands and applied hour indexes in gold on the hour and minute display, the Panorama Date in black on white and a power reserve indicator (Auf/Ab) with a gold hand.
The second version in stainless steel features a galvanised blue dial with hands in white gold, applied hour indexes and an impressive Panorama Date in white on blue below the power reserve. All versions feature luminous highlights on the hour and minute hands.
The heart of the PanoReserve is the manual winding Calibre 65-01 with 42 hour power reserve and 48 jewels. The sapphire crystal case back offers a clear view of the characteristic Glashütte Original duplex swan-neck fine adjustment and other traditional elements of the art of watchmaking in Glashütte: the Glashütte three-quarter plate with Glashütte stripe finish, the hand-engraved balance cock, the screw balance, screwmounted gold chatons and blued screws.
The new Pano models in red gold are offered with a choice of either a matt black Louisiana Alligator leather strap or a Louisiana Alligator nubuck leather strap, while the stainless steel versions can be worn with a dark blue calf's leather or Louisiana Alligator nubuck leather strap.
