Agreed...
There is always two perspectives that need to be considered. And which of the two achieves the greater good and which of the two choices implies great integrity.
While it may be to the benefit of the masses to have a Senator Chronometer in a steel variant so it is more accessible, it would definitely offend current collectors.
However, if I were Glashutte Original, I would potentially consider offering current collectors the chance to acquire a steel variant. This steel variant will soon become a cult item like the few A. Lange & Soehne watches in steel.
Senator Chronometer in steel
Hello- do you think GO will release the Chronometer in steel? With it's recently release of Platinum Chronometer set, I believe GO is taking the Chronometer to another direction unlike what they have done to PanoInverse by which GO release a steel case mo...
That would be a smart move from G.O.
And you're right. Since they did it with the PanoInverse, why not with the Chronometer? We'll know soon. Best, Nicolas.
There are two trains of thought whenever . . .
. . . this topic comes up. For those of us who actually prefer steel and consider ourselves aficionados rather than collectors, such a development would be a godsend. Those that have already acquired an SC in precious metal and consider themselves collect...
You are absolutely right, Art...
For those who bought the Platinum, it is not really a good sign. BUT, the SC also exists in WG and in RG, so it was never a " rare " watch. It would have been worse if G.O started with a LE in platinum, then with some non LE in WG, RG, and SS. Just a thou...
with you all the way, Art!
and congratulations and immense encouragement to GO for showing the courage (!) to compete with some other german companies - for example Stowa, but many others - that I greatly admire and respect. However GO does more for me than, say, Nomos in their pri...
Very well said Art.....
I think that it would be a mistake for GO to create such a version.... Collectors that acquired one of the precious meals would certainly not appreciate it.... Personally I do no like when a company creates a model in precious metal and then makes it in s...

I ask the same question in Basel last year......
The answer I got was: No, we will keep the exclusivity of the chronometer version ans only made it in precious metal. I take that as it maybe will come in platinuim but I don't get that confirmed.
for now it is ok but...
...for later? Who knows. I also asked GO and they gave me the same answer. The Chronometer is a running piece and why should they change this policy. Maybe in a couple of years, when it sells not so good then they will change the mind. You will see. BUT: ...
i'm not yet a SC owner but
... I would like to know it sooner than later to make an informed decision. personally I am inpartial to both end...PT or SS wont change the fact that SC is a great watch!
It would be a gorgeous dress for this caliber...!
I love the understating of SS,WG and PT... YG and RG are too much visible, especially in a watch that isn't an extra-thin model: yellow and rose/red are far from my taste. In my opinion and experience stainless steel is a wonderful material for watch case...
I would welcome that and do not really see a problem for collectors
given that other GO offerings such as the Senator Perpetual are also available in steel and precious metal. As long as the models are somewhat distinguishable (different dials) what is there to complain? I hope they do it. After all, deck watches that the...
It's a signature piece.
If they care about the collector, they won't put it out in SS. It's not like they have all this extra capacity to begin with. While my preference would be for SS, I know it is not in the best interest of the brand. My only hope would be is that they would...
I doubt it
Their other 'high-end' pieces are not offered in steel. Specifically, the PanoMatic Chronograph, Senator Rattrapante, Panotourbillon, and PanoMatic Tourbillon come to mind. There may be others. Maybe if they put it in a Navigator case or a Sport Evo case ...
One of the reasons I like the brand is because....
... of the fact that many of the watches they make are available in stainless as well as precious metals. This brings pieces of art into every day wear and when I say this I"m not talking about trying to get through the day by carefully and alertly being ...
Please don't remove the date!
How I love the best big date available in the market! Especially in black, so the thin space between the discs become invisible... please let the date in its place! SS is a superb material (for example AISI 904L used by Rolex... exceptional hard and brigh...
Ok, the truth is....
.... I would like the watch better without the date. That would bring inline with what I feel is one of the most timeless and compelling of the classic designs. Still the question remains for those who enjoy collecting, would you still feel that your piec...
