Did it still have 100 hours power reserve?
We talk about that in Basel but never get the answer if it still will have 100 hours power reserve with a complication like date or moonphase.
Senator Excellence Panorama Date . . .
. . . and Panorama Date Moon Phase images . . . . . . for your viewing pleasure....
The Senator Excellence has been joined by two companions . . .
. . . a Panorama Date model . . . . . . and Panorama Date Moon Phase. ...
You'll be intrigued to learn . . .
. . . the moon phase indicator is set from the crown, and not by a pusher. One wonders whether there will be a perpetual calendar based on the new cal 36 movement, and if so, will it offer correction from the crown as well? ...
That would be great to see a perpetual calendar which you can set through the crown. Ulysse Nardin did it already.
And it is a super friendly way to do it. Best, Nicolas
ochs and junior as well - there is one common aspect...
all these mechanisms were conceptualised by Ludwig Oechslin, and all use gears instead of springs to control the calendar. Best, Magnus

My reading of the press document indicates the latest additions . . .

. . . yes! It appears the power reserve specification is conservative, just as I'd expect from G O. Art
You mean my watch is obsolete?
Maybe I should trade it in on one of these new models? ... and get a better camera while I am at it? The previous photos is the service replacement dial. Here is the original dial and the troublesome hands. Note that the date and moon apertures vary on my...
If you get one of the new G Os . . .
. . . I'll trade some of my vintage Omegas for your Senator. Might even throw in a vintage Seiko. How's that? . . .
Indeed pure viewing pleasure.
I think that the date does an excellent job on the senator Excellence. Without it the white dials - especially the steel one - may be perceived as standing at the edge of being a little too empty. The date "fixes" that in a convincing way. Even more when ...
Perhaps Nicolas was also on Baron's mind . . .
. . . when he shared this on Wrist Scan a few days ago: " L'heure entre chien et loup ."
