Glashutte Senator Watches

Timepiece for Navy Rescue Pilots The S.A.R. Flieger-Chronograph was developed in collaboration with the rescue pilots from the German Navy. They were looking for a robust chronograph with an easy-to-read display which included a function for calculating flight speeds. It meets these requirements thanks to its extremely reliable fine regulation and specially designed chronograph functions with a highlighted 10-second scale. The case, in stainless steel, measures 44mm x 16mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal (2.5mm thick) and is water resistant to 100 meters. Movement is the Swiss made Muhle caliber MU9408 (base ETA 7750) with woodpecker neck regulation, Glashutte three-quarter plate, and Muhle rotor with characteristic surfaces finishes.

Elite “Made in Germany” watch brand Glash��tte Original gives us a sneak peak of what is to come at Baselworld 2011 (March 2011).? Unfortunately it is not a “new” model — but I’ll still take it ? The Glashutte Senator Diary made its world debut at Baselworld last year, and the watch seems to have been well received by Glash��tte enthusiasts.? Thus is makes sense this year to see Glash��tte presenting the Senator Diary in a new, white gold version with a charcoal grey dial and matching grey Nubuk leather strap.? This new color scheme looks great.? The technical accomplishment of this watch is its mechanical alarm function that can be set up to 30 days in advance. Practical?? Maybe.? Horologically impressive? Definitely (the diary appointment module alone consists of 340 components).? The price of this new Senator Diary will likely be in the $15,000-$20,000 range, which is about par for the course a brand as prestigious as Glash��tte.|||
