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

The Panorama date moonphase in white metal ( steel? ) is sublime. Bravo, G.O. [nt]

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?

That would be great to see a perpetual calendar which you can set through the crown. Ulysse Nardin did it already.
And it is a super friendly way to do it.

ochs and junior as well - there is one common aspect...
all these mechanisms were conceptualised by Ludwig Oechslin, and all use gears instead of springs to control the calendar.

You are right Art. That's a true pleasure to see these three beauties (a true family pic!) well enhanced by your shot. Thank you

I thought you took the first one. Germans are good to make watches but also to photograph and well enhanced them ;-)

Did it still have 100 hours power reserve?
We talk about that in Basel but never get the answer if it still will have 100 hours power reserve with a complication like date or moonphase.
My reading of the press document indicates the latest additions . . .
. . . maintain the 100 hour reserve specification, but won't claim that as definitive, Jocke. I'll check with Our Man in Glashütte.

The answer we've been waiting for is . . .
. . . yes! It appears the power reserve specification is conservative, just as I'd expect from G O.

You mean my watch is obsolete?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 dials, and vary on the new watches from these two.
The beautiful movement
Thanks Art for showing us the new range of watches.

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 it is balanced by that lovely moon phase indicator. This has already nicely been confirmed by the current Senator Panorama Date and Panorama Date Moonphaae. (I will have to see in the metal though how the "white" moon works in the gold case.)
I think it is safe to assume that we are watching the current cal.100 based Senator line being taken out of duty one by one.
I like very much direction in which this is going. Aesthetically as well as from the technical point of view.
Btw: Did you note that Nicolas liked the date on a watch that is available without it also? That is something
Best, Martin

Perhaps Nicolas was also on Baron's mind . . .
