Glashutte Original PanoMaticCentral XL watch

The Glashutte Original PanoMaticCentral XL watch is a luxury timepiece that exudes tranquility, contemporary elegance, and the dynamism that accompanies a creation of integrity.

A substantial and pleasing creation of fine German watchmaking, the PanoMaticCentral XL timepiece showcases a sophisticated Manufacture movement within a new and larger case size which effectively presents the balanced aesthetics of the Pano watch design to a generation of wearers who enjoy a particularly bold look in their watches. Crafted from 18K rose gold or stainless steel, this Glashutte Original watch measures a substantial 42mm in diameter, and 11.6mm in height.

Subtle details of fine workmanship reveal themselves in every facet of the case construction, from the alternations of polished and brushed surfaces, to the elaborate caseback which is secured with individual screws. A striking silvered dial, accented with modern Arabic numerals and polished lance-shaped hands harmonize perfectly with the overall impression of order, clarity, and harmony which this timepiece exudes. A gently curved crystal made from synthetic sapphire provides elegant and extremely effective protection against unsightly scratches.

The PanoMaticCentral XL timepiece is as much defined by the excellence of its mechanical movement, as it is by its attractive design. A sapphire crystal pane set into the caseback permits an unobstructed view of the Glashutte manufacture caliber 100, an exclusive mechanism which is both finely decorated and horologically distinguished.

Its chief characteristics include a bi-directional winding system, a generous 55-hour power reserve, and a unique second reset mechanism, which permits instant synchronization of the second hand; all one need do to actuate this feature, is press the button on the lower left side of the case. Naturally, this movement also incorporates the novel Glashutte panorama date display, a highly sophisticated large date mechanism which rightly deserves the title of "complication" due to its intricacy and innovative design. Architecturally and aesthetically, the Caliber 100 radiates the pleasing aura of Glashutte horological traditions, including a three-quarter plate design and fine Glashutte ribbing.

Other unmistakable signs of refinement include a central rotor fitted with a 21K gold peripheral mass, a polished swan-neck fine adjustment, and a balance wheel affixed with 18 solid gold mass screws. Both the stainless steel and 18K rose gold versions of the Glashutte Original PanoMaticCentral XL watch are accentuated handsomely by a luxurious Louisiana alligator strap, and an impressively finished buckle wrought from gold or stainless steel.
