This is one of those rare moments . . .
. . . when an obvious development catches everyone unaware. Yes, there have been previous Senator tourbillons - the Meißen model from several years back comes to mind - but this design seems so natural that I'm amazed by its announcement, yet somehow equally amazed that it's taken me by surprise. The signature hallmarks of Glashütte design are present - flying automatic (!) tourbillon, the now familiar slender Roman indices, the equally familiar poire hands, and centered Panorama date - but they all meld with startling effect here.
My sense is this is a model that should always have been part of the line. The granular dial and partially matte case surfaces are put to especially good effect, balancing the formal and technically intimidating aspects of the design.
Bravo. Nothing more needs be said.
Delighted,

Exquisite!
With the preferred MichaelC greyscale color palette, this is one attractive offering. The dial is really amazing. So simple and clean, highlighting the awesome tourbillon aperture.

As with the Regulator...
...I think this brushed case looks far better than the polished of the Chronometer
