[Basel 2014] GO's novelties preview
There has been some interesting news today concerning GO.
First, the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date (with Stop-second and Flyback)
In Pt or RG case in 42 x 14 mm.
In 40 x 40 mm, in stainless steel, with bracelet or strap.
I really like the Senator version, it a nice new entry in the collection. On the other hand it seems that the movement is a bit less taken care of compared to other GOs. Am I wrong? Or is it that familly that has a different finishing from the Panomatic for example?
Cheers, Mark

like the hour counter on the seventies..
Answering your question, and from the picture's look only, the level of finishing seems more related to the cal. 39-31 chronographs than to the pano line. Thinking of it, that would be expected into a new sport evo chronograph but not on a precious metal ...
Thanks for the info Ramon
I'm not really aware of the difference of finishing of the different lines of products for GO. You're right that it could better fit a steel sporty line. Cheers, Mark
GO, GO, GO!!!
I love the Senator Chronograph.... I love the crown, I love the 'cleanliness' of the dial (i.e. thin numerals, thin font writing), the blue hands.... I think its beautiful. I won't comment on the movement as I would rather see in the flesh, and I haven't ...
Clean line
Yes, I see that we both like thin markings on dials. A very nice dial and case on this Senator indeed You seem very excited! GOs are very desirable watches ;) Cheers, Mark
Movement
Not sure about the placement of the movement from the back view. There seems to be a lot of space along the edges. Maybe they should have made the rim a little wider.
You're right Ping
I noticed that, but didn't know what troubled me. It could indeed have been treated differently (adding a ring) to better fill the case. Thanks for your input. Cheers, Mark
I really am liking the Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date
In-house integrated column wheel chronograph, with power reserve indicator and big date complications. Perfect for me. Can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Very seventies
I understand that many watch fans will love this watch. A really nice neo retro design indeed. Cheers, Mark
Senator Chronograph dials look great.
I'm guessing we will see the new movement in many more guises in the future. New Sport Evo next year anyone? Cheers, Dave
It seems to be unanimous
The dial is a great one and makes this Senator really appealing. I must say in many other models, GO knows how to create nice dials. Cheers, Mark
I like the Senator chrono... but it's very busy...
The dial with the Romans, and the Arabics, and the subdials. AND big date.. very mixed up and busy... But also very appealing, looks very legible, which matters on a chrono... I do not like chronos 'in name only' such as Omega's co-xial speedy in every co...
There's striping on the rotor bridge . . .
. . . typical to Glashütte, although it's clearly not as encompassing as that of either the cal 39 (3/4) or cal 100 (< 3/4). Both of the long-established automatic calibers are finished by hand; in my experience, there's some justification to the obser...
Unfortunately I'm not convinced...
In very humble opinion, very humble and probably out of the choir, the new Senator product seems to be weak, I'm not convinced by the "connection ring" between case and movement, and also the movement face seems to be a little "simple and cheap". In the f...
