Glashütte Original Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase Stainless Steel / Silver / Alligator / Folding 100-04-32-12-50

With the 2013 Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase, 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 previous versions used a button at 8 o’clock to reset the second hand to zero; the new version replaces the button with a corrector inset in the case.The new timepieces are presented in a 40 mm case both polished and brushed surfaces, either in red gold or stainless steel version, and the matt black Louisiana alligator strap attaches the watch perfectly to the wearer’s wrist.Also the new interpretation of Senator Panorama Date Moon Phase attracts the observant eye to the lavishly decorated moon phase display: a polished tiny silver moon moves gently on a deep blue disk representing the sky.Reference 100-04-32-12-01 has an alligator strap and a pin buckle.Reference 100-04-32-12-04 has an alligator strap and a folding clasp.Reference 100-04-32-12-50 has an alligator strap and a short folding clasp.
