Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date Red Gold / Silver / Alligator / Folding Ref. 1-37-01-01-05-50

At BaselWorld 2014, Glashütte Original revealed the fascinating art of fine mechanical watchmaking with a new chronograph movement designed and hand-crafted entirely in its own manufactory in Glashütte. The new Calibre 37-01 column wheel chronograph debuts at the heart of the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date in two versions, one with a platinum case and hand-finished silver dial and the other with a red gold case and lacquered silver grained dial. The simplicity and elegance in design is clearly evident in the classic harmony of the Senator dial visuals. The new Senator Chronograph Panorama Date was available initially in two versions: The first version in this debut edition features a lacquered silver grained dial with black railroad chapter ring and black Roman numerals set within a satin brushed and polished case in 18 carat red gold. The second model features a silver dial with laser-engraved black tachometric scale, railroad chapter ring and Roman numerals; all engravings are filled in black before the gold dial is polished in preparation for subsequent silver plating. The process, known as "silver plating by friction", involves the application by hand of a fine silver powder, resulting in a beautiful, durable and unique dial. This lustrous silver dial edition is presented in a polished and satin brushed red gold case. Ref. 1-37-01-01-05-01 is fitted with an alligator strap with pin buckle. Ref. 1-37-01-01-05-30 is fitted with an alligator strap with folding clasp. Ref. 1-37-01-01-05-50 is fitted with an alligator strap with shorter folding clasp.
