Glashütte Original, Glashütte i/SA, "Senator Ewiger Kalender", Movement No. 01003, Case No. 48/50, Ref. 100-02-06-13-04, Cal. GUB 100, 40 mm, circa 2006
An automatic wristwatch in mint condition, with perpetual calendar, moon phase and panorama date - limited platinum edition no. 48 of only 50 pieces worldwide, with original box, operating instructions and certificate
Case: platinum, screwed on glazed back, crown set with onyx cabochon, original platinum buckle. Dial: black.
This magnificent timepiece in a platinum case features a deep black dial that is elegant yet unassuming. Despite the many indications, the dial appears very quiet and understated. In addition to the windows for day of the week and month as well as the double window for the date, a shiny golden moon phase is displayed in a semicircular opening. Whether or not the current year is a leap year, is indicated by different colours in a small round opening beneath the Glashütte Original logo.
The watch is powered by the updated, flat automatic calibre 100 featuring a 21k skeletonised gold rotor with bidirectional winding mechanism and zero-setting function. This design ensures that the watch can be set accurately in a very easy way. When the recessed pusher at 8 o’clock is pressed, the central seconds hand jumps to zero. The advantage of this construction is that the balance keeps beating when the crown is pulled for setting the exact time, so the system is not interrupted. Another enhancement is the improved power reserve of 55 hours when the watch is fully wound – achieved by the bidirectional winding mechanism and the twin barrel.
