You'll be intrigued to learn . . .
. . . the moon phase indicator is set from the crown, and not by a pusher.
One wonders whether there will be a perpetual calendar based on the new cal 36 movement, and if so, will it offer correction from the crown as well?
Senator Excellence Panorama Date . . .

The Senator Excellence has been joined by two companions . . .

That would be great to see a perpetual calendar which you can set through the crown. Ulysse Nardin did it already.

You mean my watch is obsolete?
Maybe I should trade it in on one of these new models? ... and get a better camera while I am at it? The previous photos is the service replacement dial. Here is the original dial and the troublesome hands. Note that the date and moon apertures vary on my...
If you get one of the new G Os . . .
. . . I'll trade some of my vintage Omegas for your Senator. Might even throw in a vintage Seiko. How's that? . . .
Indeed pure viewing pleasure.
I think that the date does an excellent job on the senator Excellence. Without it the white dials - especially the steel one - may be perceived as standing at the edge of being a little too empty. The date "fixes" that in a convincing way. Even more when ...

. . . when he shared this on Wrist Scan a few days ago: " L'heure entre chien et loup ."
