Glashutte Original Senator Navigator watch

The Glashutte Original Senator Navigator watch is an exciting addition to the highly acclaimed Senator collection. This Glashutte Original watch tempts collectors with a highly appealing design which evokes classical aviators' wristwatches, as well as an exclusive in-house mechanical movement which is designed and conceived in Glashutte.

Crafted from satin-finished stainless steel, and fitted with a large pilot-style winding crown, the Glashutte Original Senator Navigator timepiece measures a sporty 44mm in diameter, with a satisfying thickness to match. Its muted finish is fully in accord with the instrument-inspired design of a pilot's timepiece, and serves to highlight the intricacy of the dial work. A virtual spitting image of aviators' watches of the 1930's and 1940's the dial of the Senator Navigator displays a bold yet extremely intricate pattern of greenish-white Superluminova material which makes instantaneous comprehension of the time in the worst of conditions a simple matter--this extraordinary legibility is equally impressive when the lights go out thanks to the exceptional brilliance and clarity of the glowing material.

Protected beneath the stainless steel caseback of the Glashutte Original Senator Navigator watch lies a mechanical masterpiece of exclusivity and sophistication. Produced by Glashutte Original, the Caliber 100 movement is an exclusive mechanical creation that offers refinement and clever technical solutions. The movement's balance wheel, equipped with 18 solid gold weight screws beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and features a swan-neck fine adjustment. The central rotor, outfitted with a 21K gold segment on its outer rim, winds in both directions of rotation, efficiently powering the watch to a full reserve of approximately 55 hours. A special and ingenious feature is a unique seconds reset mechanism that is activated via the small pushpiece on the left side of the case; when pressed, this mechanism will instantly send the second hand to zero, enabling precise to-the-second setting with a time signal. Though concealed from view, Glashutte Original has lavishly decorated this caliber with fine striping on the three-quarter plate and rotor, and meticulously polished the edges of each metal part, screw, and jewel setting in accord with the artisanal traditions of distinguished German watchmaking.

The Glashutte Original Senator Navigator watch is fitted with an antiqued calfskin strap that preserves the vintage appeal of this design. A massive, satin- finished stainless steel buckle bearing the distinctive double-G Glashutte brand symbol affixes the Navigator securely to its owner's wrist.
