Glashutte Original - Excellent review!

Excellent review!

The photography is wonderful and the review is wonderfully thorough. Thank you for posting! A few comments:

The evolution of the microadjust clasp is indicative of Glashutte's eye for perfecting the wearing experience. The dial is remarkable because it displays said much information while remaining legible and well balanced. The use of the expanded window to show the elapsed hours in place of a third subdial is clever. The aesthetics of the dial are improved and a trendy fashion element is successfully incorporated without exposing the wearer to the expanded date window disease.

The decision to adorn the Senator Chronograph with the same level of movement finishing makes sense from a sales standpoint. Given their respective price points, for every person dissuaded from buying the Senator Chronograph (cross-shopping in that price range) due to the level of movement finishing, there may be seven people persuaded to buy the Seventies Chronograph because (nearly) the exact same movement is used in a far pricier watch. It highlights the massive value delivered by the Seventies Chronograph. The Panomatic Counter and Panograph scratch the itch for those who prioritize an elaborately finished chronograph movement cased in steel or gold, respectively.

Impressions of the Seventies Chronograph

Only one more week to go until G.O. will reveal their latest novelties in Basel (apart from the Senator Chronometer with the blue dial that has already been presented here.) To shorten the wait let's look back to Baselworld 2014 when a movement was reveal...

Thank you for a fantastic post - you made me want one.

Life is anyhow too expensive. However, your GO chronograph represent exceptional value. Best, Kari

That is a problem with G.O watches.

Their great value can sometimes outmaneuver your attempts to be reasonable and to resist Best, Martin

This has everything I want in a watch.

Thanks a lot your insights!

It makes perfect sense what you say about the movement finish. The other thing is that wonder is how many potential buyers of a Senator Chronograph will scrutinize it like Purist does? I learned from my AD that many watch deals are closed based on criteri...

Thank you for this wonderful review.

Well done to GO for keeping the watch at 14mm while housing all those functions. 14mm is normally the maximum for my liking, but like what you mentioned, the overall case and lug design do make this watch look (maybe even wear?) thinner than its actual th...

Well, the crystal sits 14mm above the wrist, bit it looks and feels more like 12.

Thanks for you input! Martin

That sounds even better! [nt]

Thanks for this though, very informative review!

By: KMII : March 8th, 2016-17:35

Your appreciation for the watch oozes out of every sentence, and rightfully so - it is a very nice piece Hope you enjoy wearing it for a long time!

I tend get carried away a little :-)

By: stromer : March 9th, 2016-04:23

Thank you for your nice words! It is certainly hard to convince me of a watch. I think I am quite a picky person about that. But once you got me, you got me Best, Martin

Amazing dial

By: Billy S. : March 9th, 2016-00:16

The dial looks so amazing! And I also like the case model.

Yes, that's one of the assets. But the good thing is that it is not the only one but in balance with the rest of the watch.

By: stromer : March 9th, 2016-04:26

And a Seventies is a well suited place to play with colour. Thanks for looking! Martin
