We put Glashütte Original’s Senator Chronograph Panorama Date through the party test
What comes to mind when we say: “German watch”? Don’t think too hard now. Solid? Classic? Complicated? No-nonsense? Ok. What about party-friendly? Yeah, we didn’t think so, either. Which was why we couldn’t pass up the chance to test the Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph Panorama Date’s party credentials, after getting well acquainted with its technical virtues.
For those who are unfamiliar with Glashütte Original, it is one of the top German watch brands on the planet today. Its roots date back to 1845, and the company is famous for making some of the most exquisite, elegant and technically accomplished wristwatches to rival the best the Swiss have to offer.
As for the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date itself, the watch is a sporty upgrade of the classically inspired Senator collection with its jet-black dial offset by bright blue Super-LumiNova indexes, powered by the in house Calibre 37-01 automatic chronograph movement with column wheel that debuted in 2014.
But while its pedigree and mechanical merits are never in doubt, how does Glashütte Original’s latest sports model fare in social situations? The image on the left is how the brand portrays the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date at an after-hours dinner in an ‘official’ image.
