Glashütte Original - Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition

Glashuette Original unveiled today a new 100-piece limited edition of the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar with prices starting from €20,500.

Glashütte Original unveiled today a new 100-piece limited edition of the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar.

The new timepiece comes in a 42 mm x 12.8 mm stainless steel case alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces with almost no bezel to make more room for the refined rose opaline dial whose silken hue beautifully contrasts with the hand-mounted blue Roman numerals and poire hands.

The deep blue hue is also used as the background for the stepped calendar windows and moon phase display.

Along with hours, minutes and seconds, the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar presents the characteristic Glashütte Original Panorama Date, a finely worked moon phase, and weekday, month and leap year indicators.

Setting of the date can be monitored directly in the display window, while discreet correctors on the case enable adjustments to weekday, month and moon phase displays. 

A separate display beneath hour 12 indicates the leap year with the hand moving counter-clockwise across a scale of 1 to 4.

Once adjusted, the calendar indications will not need manual correction for more than one hundred years to come, of course assuming that the watch runs continuously.

Visible through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback, the Calibre 36 automatic movement beats at the frequency of 4 Hertz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with extreme accuracy thanks to its silicon spiral and with a remarkable autonomy of 100 hours.

Characterised by the typical three-quarter plate architecture, the movement showcases high-end finishes including Glashütte stripe finish, perlage, blued screws, a hand-engraved balance cock and a skeletonized rotor with double G-logo and 21-ct gold oscillation weight.

Water resistant to 5 bar (approximately 50 metres / 165 feet), the watch can be matched to a Louisiana alligator leather strap (ref. 1-36-12-01-02-61) or to a steel bracelet (ref. 1-36-12-01-02-71).

The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition will be available from the end of October exclusively at Glashütte Original Boutiques and authorised dealers with prices starting from Euro 20,500. glashuette-original.com
