Hi Fernando
I tried it on the wrist but did not like its lightness in weight. I suspect (and I stand to be corrected) that it uses the same movement as the Sports Evolution Perpetual model but is almost twice as expensive - so I passed, especially if I have to get it from the boutique rather than an AD at this juncture.
For a slightly higher price, the Senator Chronometer is a much better piece IMHO. I like the substantial weight on the wrist but the most appealing aspect is the movement - zero second hand reset, minute hand moves from minute to minute, date jumps at midnight sharp etc. The only thing I don't like about this piece is the size (too big for a dress watch). Bottom line - I would have pulled the trigger if the Moser Perpetual One is not loping around the corner...

Senator perpetual ceramic.

I know what you're saying Sam.....
when comparing the two. The chronometre is in a different league movement wise and for a little extra change looks like the better deal. If only it was a tad smaller and the one I tried didn't experience some technical failure!The ceramic perpetual fits m...
The Moser should be available
any time now, I was told by an AD in Central (shop name beginning with C) And did you consider the FPJ Perpetual? The color/metal combo is incredibly attractive...just persuaded a friend to acquire one... Sam
Yes I know the AD Sam......thx.
One of the cleaner perpetuals which is a prerequisite for me due to poor eyesight. Hope you get yours soon. I saw the dummy of the FPJ perpetual some time ago but didn't realize stock has come in.It looks great and I'm sure it will be a big hit.For me per...
A black ceramic perpetual ...
is a very understated idea which I like a lot. Tried it twice. The lightness feels very special and fits to the idea of the watch. A comparison with the Chronometer doesn´t work, as this are two totally different watches. Oliver...
You are right Oliver.
You cannot compare them together. I also like the idea of an understated and under the radar type of perpetual which this one is.Well for now, it's just something to think about but thanks for your valued feedback! cheers fernando (For some reason, my new...
"cannot show your pics" Same happens to me with ...
e.g. Craigs pictures on this site. Curious!?! Maybe somebody (reading this) can "enlighten" us Oliver
I recently....
tried it on..... It did not really impress me- however..... it might be due to the fact that I tried the chronometre at the same time...... Cheers
I'm very much taken with the ceramic Senator perpetual . . .
. . . which employs the cal 100 as opposed to the cal 39 in the Sport Evo, btw . . . . . . as an everyday sports/tool/utility watch endowed with a genuinely useful high complication. It's extremely comfortable, entirely utilitarian, yet simultaneously sop...
Looking forward to your write-up Art!
Thanks for the pic. and your thoughts! cheers fernando
I can share one thought now . . .
. . . thanks to Oliver having provided the best evidence possible, namely, that while the ceramic Senator is definitely a casual watch by design, it can blend in with black formal wear . . . sartorially, Art
So here's a question - will GO do a Ceramic Navigator Perpetual?..
....seems like a very obvious LE to me. Blackened watch with a military dial - where do I sign up for one -Sam
i really like the look of the ceramic.
i havent even seen it in the flesh let alone tried it on, but it looks very subtle. i agree with Oliver that it would suit a black tie affair perfectly. on the ther hand i have seen, examined and tried on the Moser perpetual and that is sublime simplicity...
