Glashütte Original

Love the Senator Perpetual cal 100

 

Got this watch about 3 years ago, and love it.  I particularly like the indicator for the year cycle - the little aperture under the GO logo - Red for leap year, then yellow, black, and finally white.  Small, unobtrusive, and a clever solution to the problem of indicating the year without using unnecessary real estate.  The only time you notice something is in December, when you have the current year color and the upcoming year color both showing.  The other 11 months the color is unchanging (although underneath the aperture is a 48 click wheel that turns once a month).

The Pt version is beautiful, and I had considered trading this one for that, but ultimately decided against because I really like the (stamped) guilloche dial on the steel watch.  Plus the age-old problem of not having unlimited funds smile









In this "cherries" picture, I unfortunately desaturated the yellowish tint on the moonphase.  I say "unfortunately" because that slight bit of color really livens up the otherwise monochromatic dial.

Here are some color transitioning December shots:

Glashutte Original Senator Perpetual Calendar

Seriously looking at acquiring one of these beautiful watches. Recently, trying to glean as much information as I can. Could owners past & presents, with photos if possible please give their thoughts. The same also goes for the Navigator PC. Which I under... 

These are the only images I have . . .

. . . of the Senator Perpetual . . . . . . once owned. A very limited edition (of ten) Navigator model, in rose gold. The Senator perpetual, whether of the cal 39 generation (as this one) or cal 100, is suited for that person who has a deep appreciation f...  

Thanks Art………….

I knew that you were a fan of the GO PC :) Is it only the newer models (42mm) that come with the 100 cal? Trying to find one, especially here in the UK, is proving a challenge. But I have plenty of time. :) Kind Regards Tony

The cal 100 perpetuals come in

. . . 40, 42, and 44 mm case sizes. Out of all the various iterations, the one that resonates most is the 42 mm ceramic model . . . . . . introduced in '09. It was rather expensive in comparison with the stainless versions, but oh-so-comfortable, and cool...  

I think I found myself in a situation similar to yours...

I'm also not a fan of either Roman numerals nor the pear shape hands. I bought 5 years ago my Navigator Perpetual () of which I'm in love like the first day (I have posted some pictures in PPro)... I'm enthusiast by the general balance of the watch: brush... 

Thanks to you both

Art, the ceramic, like the Navigator PC, would certainly not attract any attention, apart from those in the know!! Both would be perfect for everyday wear. Though 42mm would be the max that I could wear. Mass, thank you for your very valuable input, I too... 

Senator perpetuals switched to the cal 100 . . .

. . . in '05, if memory serves correct. The first version employed simple baton markers . . . [image credit: sirjun, '08] . . . and the switch to Romans was effected a few years ago. There was a steel-cased grey dial . . . [image credit: Marcus] . . . as ...

A slim opportunity to get a Platinum one recently, but couldn't quite afford it. Plus I was sure about the onyx on the crown. Though, it must be a beautiful weight!

I prefer to use the Navigator Perpetual during summer

because the 44 mm of diameter doesn't get along with the cuffs of shirts... During the remaining period of the year the 40 mm diameter of the Senator Calendar Week (which has the same case dimensions of the Senator Perpetual) is an invitation to wear it: ... 

Possibly doing a deal………

For a Platinum GO Senator perpetual Calendar, which will involve trading my Patek 5167A

Love the Senator Perpetual cal 100

Beautiful and very unusual!

I didn't know that this version had the superluminova markings at quarters... thanks for the pictures! Best, massi

The deal is done……..

I had forgotten how heavy a Platinum watch was :) Now, I need to get some photos taken. HAGWE

The limited edition platinum model . . .

. . . is the province of at least one Purist . . . [image and watch credit: tempusfugit] . . . and what Zhege says about the tragedy of having limited funds goes double for me! :-) ...  

I have had this watch for about 5 years now............

 
By: TonyR : September 27th, 2014-05:24
and still enjoy wearing it very much. At one point, I had 4 rose gold casual / sporty watches in the collection all together. (IWC 5001, AP Royal Oak, JLC Hometime along with this GO) Over the years for one reason or another I sold off the others. When yo...
