Glashütte Original Senator Sport Chronograph
Concept & History
In the mid-1990s, following the privatization of the manufactory, which was completed in 1994, Glashütte Original launched the Sport Chronograph, a distinct line featuring a faceted case and an engraved tachymeter bezel. The early series was powered by the in-house Caliber 10-60, which is based on the 10-30 automatic movement developed while the company was still in the GDR. This particular watch, with an initial sale date of December 2001, is equipped with this caliber.
Caliber & Technology
Power is provided by the automatic in-house caliber 10-60 with 48 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, and eccentric fine adjustment. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement offers a power reserve of 42 hours. The chronograph function measures time via a central stop-seconds hand and two sub-dials, supplemented by a seconds stop for precise time setting. Even the rotor’s ball bearings are manufactured in-house. An eight-screw sapphire crystal case back offers a view of the finely finished movement.
Case & Material
The stainless steel case measures 42.5 mm in diameter and is 13.6 mm thick. The faceted bezel features an engraved tachymeter scale, and the crystal is made of sapphire. The crown and case back are screw-down; the case back is secured with eight screws and is also made of sapphire. The watch is water-resistant to 10 ATM. This particular example features a retrofitted stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp in place of the original leather strap.
Aesthetics & Readability
The white dial features applied, tapered triangular hour markers, as well as hour and minute hands in a tapered bar shape. Two sub-dials for the stop-second hand and the 30-minute counter break up the dial without compromising readability. The engraved tachymeter scale on the bezel emphasizes the watch’s sporty look. High-contrast black lettering on a light background, combined with polished hands, ensures excellent readability in daylight.
