Introducing: The Glashtte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition

March 21, 2018

Since its launch in 2016, the calibre 36 has seen many iterations. Known for its impressive precision that exceeds chronometer certification, the calibre 36 continues to impress. Last year we saw the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar built on its base and this year we have the same watch in a limited series with a skeletonized dial. The Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition boasts a 42mm white gold case with all the fixings of a QP ?C?date, day, month, moonphase, and leap year indication C all on a beautifully cut out skeletonized dial with guilloch base plate. It is powered by the automatic caliber 36-02, which is not new but still is still something to appreciate (and it won't require any correction until the year 2100). The watch is limited to 100 pieces. Initial Thoughts While this watch isn't new, it is great to see Glashtte continue to utilize the caliber 36 movement and build on the Senator Excellence Collection. The Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition is certainly more robust in terms of its profile and aesthetics, which isn't normally my cup of tea, but I kind of like this one from them. The guilloch is a nice touch and softens the otherwise austere color palette. I look forward to seeing this one in the metal.?
