Glashütte Original Senator Panorama Date Review

The Glashütte Original Wristwatch model is produced by the leading Super Clone manufacturer workshops with an 18K thick gold-plated case, 40 mm diameter and a high-precision automatic Super Clone mechanism architecture. It is among the most successful 1:1 super clone watch reviews on the market, with its sapphire crystal AR coating glass, original case tolerances and detailed workmanship.

Glashütte Original, from Germany's Saxony region, shares this small watchmaking town with several superior watchmakers such as A. Lange & Söhne and Nomos, the newest big player on the German watchmaking arena. Let's take a closer look at the Glashutte Senator Panorama Dates to explain what makes this wristwatch such a special timekeeper.

Glashütte Original Senator Panorama Date Review

As part of Glashütte Original's Quintessential collection, the Senator Panorama Date series has a special place. Many of the other watches in the Glashutte Quintessentials collection have busier-looking dials that feature sub-dials, power reserves and similar elements.

However, the Senator Panorama Date is designed with a three-hour-minute hands watch that is more similar to the watches in the Senator Excellence collection and a clean, simple, classic-looking off-white/cream colored dial. The black Roman numerals are delicately printed and appear to be hanging from the railway seconds track that wraps around the dial.

One of the most striking features of this watch is its elegantly shaped hour and minute hands. The hour hand has an elongated spade shape, while the minute hand has an elongated hourglass shape. The seconds hand is slim and bears a Glashütte Original logo at the other end as a counterweight. The same hand design combination is also found in the Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.

Even more striking than the carefully crafted shaped hands is the tone of the blued steel. This beautiful shade of blue is achieved through a thermal reaction in which the steel is heated evenly, a process that changes its color.

There is a date window located between 4 and 5 on the dial, which displays the date in a magnificent and bold serif font. The date mechanism works using double disks. The solid 18 carat rose gold case has a diameter of 40 mm, which is a conservative men's size according to today's growing trend of large watches. The rose gold case is 11.52 mm thick and fits nicely under a shirt cuff. A nice feature that the GO Senator Panorama Date offers is a recessed seconds reset button, which is discreetly located in the 8th position of the case and can be pressed with a special pen tool that comes with the watch.

This watch is powered by the in-house produced Glashütte Original caliber 100-03 movement, which beats at 28,800 VpH, contains 51 jewels, and has a power reserve of approximately 55 hours when fully wound.

As with almost every Glashutte caliber, you can expect impressive craftsmanship and masterful craftsmanship in the movement, which you can see through the clear sapphire glass case back. The rotor, which provides bidirectional automatic winding, carries a skeletonized emblem with the letter G standing back to back in gold color. There is also a predominant 21 carat gold band on the edge of the rotor, beautifully etched with striped work also found on the three-quarter plate. Below is a photo of caliber 100-03 visible through the sapphire glass clear caseback of the stainless steel model #100-03-32-42-04. Notice how the striped workmanship causes light to refract through and illuminate the mechanism. This really adds a lot to the magnificence of the caliber.

One of the things that has always fascinated me about mechanical watch calibers made in Glashutte is the vibrant flashes of color on the caliber. From blued screws to pink ruby ​​stone deposits, even polished and machined steel and gold. All of this creates a mechanism that looks more like a work of fine art than a micromechanical engine.

The rose gold model shown at the beginning of this article has the reference number 100-03-32-45-04 and comes on a black alligator leather strap with a matching 18 carat rose gold folding buckle. The manufacturer's recommended retail price for this model is XXX, but it can be purchased here at a discount price.

There is also a stainless steel model with reference number 100-03-32-42-04; This model is hard to find these days, as the series has been phased out and replaced by a newer version, now placed in the Senator Excellence collection and called the Senator Excellence Panorama Date. Its dial has a slightly different look; it uses both index hour markers and Roman numerals and is powered by a newer movement, the 36-03, with a better power reserve.

100-03-32-42-04 had a suggested retail price of XXX and we have one left in unused/mint condition; it is currently selling for XXX less than the recommended price. Both models (stainless steel 100-03-32-42-04 and rose gold 100-03-32-45-04) use exactly the same magnificent 100-03 self-winding movement. The only difference between the two watches is the case material. One is stainless steel and the other is rose gold.

In summary, this collection contains some very beautiful watches and whichever model you choose, you will own a work of fine watchmaking, German precision engineering and craftsmanship.
