Senator Cronógrafo

The design of this automatic Senator Chronograph is reminiscent of the observation watches manufactured in Glashütte in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These were robust, high-precision pocket watches that were used primarily in maritime navigation. Building on this tradition, this timepiece successfully combines the key chronograph functions in a comfortably sized watch: central stop-seconds, 30-minute counter, flyback mechanism, small seconds and Glashütte Original’s distinctive Panorama Date.

Inside this robust chronograph ticks the automatic caliber 37-24 with a column-wheel mechanism. The flyback function ensures that the chronograph can be stopped, reset and restarted with a single press – a convenient and smooth process that makes timing a pleasure. The caliber beats at a frequency of 28 800 vibrations per hour and has a running time of 70 hours. The balance spring is made of silicon and is resistant to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations.

The galvanic silver dial, crafted in Glashütte Original’s own dial manufactory, features an intricately embossed surface. Solid gold Roman numeral appliques with a blue coating and blued hands stand out against this background. The 30-minute counter and the small seconds hand are displayed on sub-dials with a delicate vinyl-record type motif, facing each other in exquisite symmetry and clarity. The flange features a printed tachymeter scale in glossy black, whilst the Panorama Date at 6 o’clock is accentuated by a shimmering white gold frame.
