Steve Cohen, President of G O operations in the US . . .
. . . and West Coast rep Doug Stoller were in Los Angeles last week to present the 2009 models, and I'd like to extend my appreciation for all their assistance in setting up these photos. I'll be concentrating on the highlights for this review and rolling them out a day at a time; today's installment will be the Senator Sixties Square chronograph . . .
. . . that seems to have drawn Anthony's attention. This design represents one of the most (if not the most) successful attempts at creating a recognizably square form that doesn't simultaneously generate a "boxy" appearance. The blending of the contours and slightly perceptible curving exhibit the deft touch I've come to expect from G O's design team. Let's take a look at the back side to appreciate the unique full sapphire caseback that offers a 360º of the movement:
Doug helped to set up this shot that highlights the positioning of the crown and pushers along the edge of the case:
Naturally, I had to try it on . . .
. . . good call, Anthony ;-) . . . cordially, Art This message has been edited by Dr No on 2009-05-26 11:17:01 This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2009-06-08 16:44:10

Brilliant pics of a not less brilliant watch, Art
The more I see it, the more I like it. A winner, indeed. Thanks for the reminder! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Great Shots!
Thanks for the posting. This watch is high on my list and I am curious on how you thought it fit relative to your GOs? Also, did you find the exhibition back make the watch appear like it was sitting above your wrist or was did it sit relatively flat. Tha...
The Sixties Square fit my wrist like a glove, although I can see . . .
. . . why you asked the question as the side-views lend that interpretation. What you may not have noticed is the positioning of the crown towards the bottom of the case, which puts the slight protrusion of the sapphire back into context . . . cordially, ...
Looks mighty good on you, Art!
I feel like there will soon be a brotherhood within PPro of Square Sixties owners. Perhaps, we'll dub that group "Sixties 2 " -- are you in? The watch is really growing on me, but I'm still holding out for a manual-wind traditional Sixties (Please GO, say...
My surprise favorite is the new PanoMatic Lunar with a blue dial . . .
. . . that continues the blue treatment to the edges of the date aperture and the frame of the moonphase aperture. Compare this to the previous version [photo courtesy Geo Scott]: I very much like the effect it produces . . . the accentuation of the hour ...
You're right
that makes the blue dialed version look much better. I was never a fan, partially it was always difficult for me to read, but this really improves the watch and I'll have to give it a second look A
Hmmm....
Always liked the old blue version. And, I really like the new one, too. Sweet update of an already beautiful watch.
Not sure about the shade, Pink Panther . . .
. . . but since it's a German watch, I rather doubt that it's RAF blue ;-) . . . cordially, Art
I disagree...
the Germans are efficient- if they thought it would be the right shade they would use it Cheers
superb..
...watch! it is also my favourite... 3/4 plate and double swan neck.....my god...
I hesitate to trot out an overused baseball metaphor, but in this case . . .
. . . it's entirely deserved . . . . . . the black ceramic Senator Perpetual is a grand slam home run. This watch has an unmistakable presence that manages to impress without imposing, complex yet austerely so. Kudos to the design team at Glashütte for cr...
Dunno, Art
Seems to me, this watch doesn't know what it really wants to be. First off, it's wrapped in the Navigator case, but yet it is black. Secondly, what is going on with all the different dials? The watch really cant make up its mind, imo. Finally, the watch i...
I can understand your thinking it's a Navigator, Marc, because . . .
. . . I thought the same when I first saw the photos earlier this year, only to be corrected by Ray. It's a Senator with a 42 mm ceramic case, same size as the Rattrapante and the new Chronometer, but larger than the rest of the Senator line. The purely m...
Grand slam home run?
ABSOLUTELY!!!! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see this in the metal
. . . or, in the ceramic, as the case may be . . .
. . . pun fully intended, of course . . . ;-) . . . cordially, Art
With they had put the Navigator Perpetual dial on this...
I would have loved for them to put the Navigator Perpetual dial on this with the arabics and also the triangle marker for the 12 o'clock. Still not a huge fan of the leap year pointer vs the small subtle dot of the previous generation. Maybe someone will ...
From a purely aesthetic perspective, I tend to agree with . . .
. . . the choices G O made, Sam. This perpetual has enough dial space that renders the occlusions on the limited edition Navigator perpetuals unnecessary, yet the purely black appearance allows this fairly large watch to blend in with smaller wrists like ...
Ooh..
This is a great looking watch. Love that square shape thought the movement is still round. When is it available? and does it come in just three hands i.e. a simple time only without the chrono.? W72
The Sixties Square is only available as a steel chronograph . . .
. . . at this point, W72. As for availability, you'll have to check with your local dealer, as models can be released at different times across markets . . . cordially, Art
Good stuff here Art, hoping to see the Senator Chronometer soon...
Seems like everyone saves this model for last! I am very interested in it, and likley leaning towards the WG variant, but I will welcome your input when you get to it. Thanks for the post
Sport Evo Impact in two variations . . .
. . . chronograph . . . . . . and PanoDate . . . . . . on my wrist. Amazingly comfortable in a physical sense as the back is contoured, but the chronograph is a little overwhelming aesthetically on my wrist, imho. The black rubberized Panodate model is a ...
Looks great
At first I thought it was much too big for me. But once I put it on, it never left my mind. Now that I've had it for a few weeks, it feels good. I'm definitely going to buy the Trieste strap, looks great. This message has been edited by turtletone2 on 200...
Art....
Does the date model look bigger that the chrono sport evo as it is less busy? or does the black case make it smaller and they "even out"? Cheers
I felt the rubberized Panodate SEI as better fitted to slender wrists . . .
. . . like mine, even though it's precisely the same size as the chronograph version, because the black rubberized surface tends to be visually diffuse. The relative simplicity of the dial lends a more relaxed appearance as well, which explains why I foun...
