Glashütte Original

. . . the new Senator Hand Date, which I either neglected to photograph back in May, or perhaps was not on display at the Swatch exhibition in Los Angeles: This is the first current generation Senator other than the chronograph models equipped with the ca...  

It’s different. GO’s Panorama Date display is a true technical achievement in function and form, but a model with a different date display is maybe an option for those who don’t share our opinion. BTW, you said the Panorama Date display ...  

Very Elegant watch! A very nice symmetrical dial ( it seems that I love them! ), in an elegant case, and perfect volumes. Yes, I love it. What about the case back, Art? A pic? Best, Nicolas

Below are some pics of my older 1845 Klassik Hand-Date for comparison .......  

Thanks Peter for lovely pic!

This is just a guess, but Omega might be part of the Swatch group umbrella along with Breguet, Blancpain, and of course, GO. Some of the proprietary date mechanisms might have been shared between companies.

Still, they look a bit different regarding the curvature I’ve referred to. Maybe Our Man in Glashütte can help us. What about that, Art? Marcelo

. . . my understanding is that G O's solution is proprietary. I saw an article a few years back in Watchtime that outlined the differences between the various solutions offered by different manufacturers . . . Omega's implementation seems similar, but I d... 

And I found this high-resolution picture of the watch that shows how its big date looks (at least from this “point of view”) identical to GO’s: I think it’s a nice illustration of this interesting discussion. Best regards! Marcelo...  

The Hand Date is a much more sedate character than any of the GO watches offering a Panorama Date. I appreciate the change of pace, and I LOVE the harmonious symmetry of the dial. Very classy! Cheers, Daos

Very nice piece. The art of simplistic sophistication. Classy and elegant. Aloha, Bob

with you Art. I think that it is a beautiful watch and very well designed and balanced, but the panodate is something that I love Cheers

Art, I like this one quite a bit. That it is "missing" the Panorama Date function is hard to deem a fault, given how truly lovely is the symmetry of this dial. I like that the seconds hand is without the double G logo, of which I am not fond. Like you, I ... 

well balanced and great design

. . . what I find most interesting about this model is the asking price . . . it's substantially lower than other Senator models ;-) . . . cordially, Art

try this watch yesterday. It is very nice and comfortable to wear. The size is small compared to Senator Calendar week.

mob.watchprosite.com A shame that Union "disappeared" (effectively) - but perhaps this new variant of GOs is to fill that gap? I think I prefer the Bergter in this case
