My first Glashütte Original was a Karree chrono . . .
. . . from the same era, Nilo, but without date. Sadly, I don't have a single picture of it available; it left my possession ten years ago because this one . . .
. . . entered my collection, and they had such a close resemblance I felt justified in letting it go even though I was still very fond of it.
Glashütte's most popular movement . . .
[G O cal 39 viewed from the back of my Senator Sixties]
. . . is neither exotic nor especially advanced technically, but it embodies solid German craftsmanship and capable of providing excellent performance.
I hope you'll bond with this one as closely as I have to mine.
Most pleased,
Art
Glashütte Original Senator Klassik Chronograph Datum - It had to be mine
This watch has a long story. About one year ago I seller offered it to me. The price was not right (by my standards), the watch is far from being new and I passed also because the closest GO AD is located (based on GO site) around 9000 Km from where I liv...
Awesome! Congrats Nilo...
And welcome to the world of GO. The date position and window are odd... so much that I find interest in them. What great balance the dial has. The logo looks just right. I dig it!
Thank you Michael ...
I like the, let's call it "neo vintage" design. Good news is that the watch is performing on a better than COSC parameter. I don't know what is happening but my last four watches, without any maintenance, are showing an amazing accuracy. Maybe I'm being f...
Congratulations, Nilo!
Awesome GO and is something I haven't seen before although I have been a fan of the brand. The Cal 39 is a great movement and that case looks very much like the senator panodate I have - which can only mean it is very comfortable and perfectly sized. The ...
Thank you ...
Richard, Glashütte Original is very uncommon here and, even knowing that this is an old model, it's the kind of watch that I like. Chronograph, not big with a very nice movement. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations on a nice GO chrono
I have seen this model on the internet, and find it very interesting. I may get one someday. I like the way the date is at the 12, to balance out the normailly empty spot. Gives it a more even look. Enjoy it, and do keep us advised on how you like it. Tha...
Thank you Frederick ...
In fact, I was attracted initially by the brand name and, later, by the "new vintage" style. I plan to do, after six or twelve months of experience with it, do a full review. Cheers, Nilo

Thanks Art ...
Dr. Julius No is a very strong influence. I love the swan neck regulator. Cheers, Nilo
Great watch
I just bought one of these in black and love it. There really isn't much information about these on the web. The date at 12:00 is visible but the second hand of the chronograph does interfere with clear visualization. It should have been at 6:00 but the s...
I agree 100%
Perfect size and the fact that's unusual helps a lot. It quickly assumed the position of one of my favorites. Check here: Cheers and congratulations for your black dialed one. Nilo
Glashutte Original Catalog Images 2004
My watch came with the original box and CD and for reference I thought I'd post the catalog images of these watches since I had such a hard time finding them myself. It looks like there were two series of them. My black one seems a little more pilot-like ...
I edited your post to show ...
Your pictures but I got only the black dialed. Gorgeous! Congratulations, Nilo
The black dialed ...
In SS is to die for. The legibility is so much better, even the date shows more, because of the contrast. Thank you very much for sharing this uncommon watch (at least here). Your picture will make me try to put a black strap on mine, just like your pictu...
Here is mine
Nilo, here is my watch. Apologies for the image quality as it was taken with my cheap cell phone. ...
Superb ...
This one was my introduction to G.O. Very unusual here. In fact mine was the first Glashütte that I saw here where I live. Thank you, Nilo
My first serious watch...
was the black dial version. A great watch value (at the time) and great time-keeper. Very well made.
