Last year Glashütte Original launched a classy new model: the Senator Excellence. Just three hands, clean looks and a complete new in-house caliber 36. A year later, there’s the Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.
With an updated movement, the caliber 36-02. Inside we find one of the most complex complications in the watch world: the perpetual calendar. A calendar function that assures the correct constellation of date, weekday and leap year up to the year 2100 A.D. So keep that 100 hours power reserve loaded at all times. Saves you a lot of re-adjusting.
Not that it’s that difficult. Setting of the date can be monitored directly in the display window. Correctors on the case enable adjustments to weekday, month and moon phase displays. Although the power reserve of 100 hours ensures the correct interplay of the displays for many hours after its owner has set the watch aside, the practical universal corrector makes it possible to change the day, date and month with a few simple moves.
The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is tested for 24 days before you can buy it
The outside is every bit as impressive as the caliber 36-02. Glashütte artisans have painstakingly worked on the dial in their own dial factory. Like the moon phase at 8 o’clock. The curve of the moon phase echoes the sweeping lines of the case while the domed moon in relief is in front of a starry blue sky. The panoramic date and weekday and month windows are presented in a passé-partout.
The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar is one of the best examples that you don’t necessarily have to look to the Swiss for a complicated and highly finished product. Each of the Glashütte Original watches undergoes rigorous testing for a period of 24 days. You can even take a look at the specs of your watch and its particular test results in an exclusive online portal. No problem leaving that level of detail up to the Germans.
