The Senator Automatic . . .

. . . has either been revised or supplemented with this new version:





"Senator Automatic

A quintessential tribute to the classics.

The Senator Automatic is an inspired tribute to the heritage of fine mechanical watchmaking

from Glashütte Original. It embodies a deep respect for traditional approaches to watch design:

slender black Roman numerals adorn a silver dial circumscribed by a fine black ‘railroad track’ minute ring.

Pear shaped, blued steel hour and minute hands and a slim, blued steel seconds hand with

double-G counterweight enhance the finely tuned harmony of the dial. The sapphire crystal,

anti-reflective on both sides, affords a clear view of this simply classical design.

The case is executed in polished red gold.

A sapphire crystal set in the polished case back opens up the heart of the watch to the connoisseur’s eye,

offering additional, irrefutable evidence of the high art of watchmaking at Glashütte Original.

A hand-crafted automatic movement from the German watchmaker’s own manufactory,

the finely finished caliber 39-59 has an operating frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and

a 40-hour power reserve.

Exemplary features of this superb movement include polished stainless steel components

with bevelled edges, a fine swan-neck adjustment, screw-mounted gold chatons and

the traditional Glashütte three-quarter plate and skeletonized rotor, both with traditional

Glashütte ribbing.

A quintessential expression of high-end German mechanical watchmaking, the Senator Automatic

from Glashütte Original is also available in a polished stainless steel housing.

Both the rose gold and stainless steel editions are enhanced by a black Louisiana Alligator

leather strap with a buckle."











I'm not sure if the cal 100 models from 2006 are discontinued, or if this new model will be produced alongside the earlier version. I'm confident Our Man in Glashütte will provide the answer.
