There are two Senator series: the older one equipped with Caliber 39 gradually discontinued in 2005 when the new version equipped with Caliber 100 launched. The old version was introduced to the market in approximately 1996/1997, and the first model should be either Senator Klassik Automatic or Senator Klassik Chronograph. At around the same time, GO also had a Senator Karree series and the first model should be either Senator Karree Automatic or Senator Karree Chronograph. When the new version came to the market in 2005, at least three to four models were introduced at the same time, including a Senator Perpetual Calendar.
Sport Evo is equipped with Caliber 39. This series was introduced in 2006 too, and the first two models are Sport Evolution Panorama Date and Sport Evolution Chronograph.
The above are from my own GO Achive and my memory, so may not be accurate. But hope it help.

Hello, I've been doing some reading regarding GO recently and I had some questions about the current lineups. I was wondering if anyone knew the first models of each series - pano, senator, sport evo, etc. Anyone got a clue? Looking at the GO catalog didn...

Thanks,

Zhiming, for the detailed info on the senator line. Did not know there was an "older" line available back in the days. Do you happen to know what series GO first came out with? Thanks again in advance!
The modern history of Glashutte Original

Thanks for the detailed summary of the Pano series..i was particularly interested in where PRG model stood in terms of the lineage...looks like it's the first! I have no clue what series/lines were available before the Pano was unveiled in 2001 - would yo...
Devilish question, Tim . . .

these pictures went straight to the heart. The 10-60 Chrono in the Roman/blue hands version! Next to the "white" version of the Chronograph one of the most beautiul GO watches from the early years after the reunification. Back then I could not decide whic...

thanks for the detailed information! I love the chronograph you posted - the hands, roman indexes, and the interesting half-way "coin bezel." Hoping to know more about the brand's history prior to 2001 someday! Best, Tim...
