With the 2013 Senator Panorama Date, 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 2013 Senator Panorama Date is 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.Reference 100-03-32-45-01 has an alligator strap and a pin buckle.Reference 100-03-32-45-04 has an alligator strap and a folding clasp.Reference 100-03-32-45-50 has an alligator strap and a short folding clasp.
