A Legacy Rooted in History
For 180 years, the small Saxon town of Glashütte has been synonymous with fine German watchmaking. The town’s journey from a struggling mining settlement to a horological powerhouse is nothing short of remarkable. In 1845, the Royal Saxon government invested in watchmaking to revitalize the town’s economy—a decision that laid the foundation for generations of master watchmakers. Today, Glashütte Original carries that legacy forward, being the sole legal successor of this historic watchmaking tradition.
The Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase
The Senator Collection exemplifies Glashütte Original’s dedication to precision and craftsmanship. Among its finest offerings, the Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase seamlessly blends timeless design with technical complexity. The in-house Calibre 36 automatic movement ensures 100 hours of power reserve, operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, while integrating both a big date and moonphase complication.
A Case of Elegance
The 40mm stainless steel case features polished surfaces, chamfered edges, and a satin finish on its sides. Measuring 12.2mm thick and 47.65mm lug-to-lug, it offers a refined presence on the wrist.
Frosted Silver & Frosted Copper Dials
The two new dial options—Frosted Silver and Frosted Copper—pay homage to Glashütte’s mining heritage. The fine-grained dials, inspired by the icy depths of the Ore Mountains, feature solid gold Roman numerals coated in blue, alongside polished poire hands and a double-G seconds hand.
Complications & Finishing
At 4 o’clock, the Panorama Date ensures excellent legibility, while the moonphase display at 10 o’clock showcases a deep blue, star-filled sky. The Calibre 36 movement, visible through the caseback, is meticulously finished and resistant to magnetic fields, temperature fluctuations, and corrosion. Each watch undergoes Glashütte Original’s 24-day Excellence Test, surpassing even German chronometer standards.
Strap Options & Pricing
Available on a leather strap, synthetic fabric, or stainless-steel bracelet, the Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase retails for $11,900 USD.
