I actually like the date...
I find I always look to my wrist to know what the date is, even when my watch is dateless!
On the other hand, GO's recent shift from crown to button adjusted dates is one of those minor things that really annoy me. They've proven they can have a standard quick-set date, yet they choose to get rid of it (on the Chronometre and on the cal.100), Madness!!

Very exciting news, Art.
I love a lot the idea G.O had, to release this pair! For the ultimate Chronometer Fans, sure, but that is a superb offer. Can't wait for additional informations and pictures. Best, and thanks for these excellent news. Nicolas
Alluring?
Devastating, YES! This is exaclty my kind of cup of tea. Thanks for these additional pics. Only one regret, which will not be shared by a majority of watch fans: The Date. I would live without much better. By the way, the need of the date on a watch is so...

The Senator Chronometer offers an instantaneous . . .
. . . date change, Aaron . . . cordially, Art
That's not what I mean
To adjust the date needs the pusher, rather than using the crown... A
My apologies for the misunderstanding, Aaron. The implementation . . .
. . . of the PanoDate usually entails a pusher, which understandably seems archaic. I think it's engaging, but then, there's no accounting for taste ;-) . . .
I agree with Nicolas
I'd prefer it without the date. I'd be up for losing the power reserve indicator from the face as well. I really like the set though. What a glorious find for them.
Wow ...
Wow, that looks really good. This time with matt finish at the case It should be a "home run" if the price tag is "reasonable" Would love to see it in the metal....
Pretty sweet!
The wristwatch alone would be cool enough, but paired with the restored deck chronometer and you've got something special. Cheers, Daos
Thank you Art....
for bringing this to our attention.... An excellent idea.... Pity that GO could not find and restore more marine chronometers... Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2010-10-15 10:52:41
Regarding the Marine Chronometers: G O offered . . .
. . . restored models many years ago. I would assume these are amongst the last in their inventory . . . cordially, Art
Thanks again Art.....
I didn't know.... I guess I could keep an eye out for them.... HAGWE... Cheers
A wonderful watch made even more wonderful...
When I first met the Senator Chronometer, I was already impressed. Here was a beautiful watch with all the practicality of a watch that could be used every day, that could be set with supreme accuracy and precision, and a watch with the movement finishing...
Thanks Art...
Just 13 sets? umnnnnnnnn................... Platinum chronometer is so tempting that I hope it join the regular line-up! Ken
Wow, looks awesome! (any diff with the WG version?)
I was wondering what the differences between this PT version and the regular production WG version are? The only difference I could discern is the cabochon on the crown and the limited number on the dial... C This message has been edited by chazlin on 201...
As Oliver noted, the case . . .
. . . has a brushed finish. Other than that, none that I'm aware of . . .
I really with they would get rid of the effeminate cabochon
on their platinum models. Other than that, a really really nice combo. Best Andreas This message has been edited by donizetti on 2010-10-16 07:02:22
Long-time G O fans will recall . . .
. . . the distinguishing factor between the first and second runs of the limited edition platinum black dialed Panos mid-decade, where the first hundred had a cabochon and the second batch did not. Perhaps the non-limited edition platinum Chronometers wil...
I want to say 5078?
Is that right for the similar looking Patek repeater? I am on a 4k (yes kilobyte) connection so it is not possible for me to go search this out for myself. Regardless I must admit I was also hoping a platinum version would come along sans date. In my mind...
A beautiful pair....
Quite a treat to discover and refurbish these Marine chronometers...and the platinum Senator is the perfect complement. tempusfugit
Only 1 bound for the US
I gave serious consideration to upgrading from the WG. The brushed caseband, ship's chronometer, and platinum make it well worth it IMO. One set is coming to the Tourbillon Boutique and that is it.
I'm afraid not.
I contacted my AD with intent to order it pending availability and price; since he could not source it I did not get that far.
EURO 99,000!!!!!
Should be available worldwide at GO's boutiques in the next two weeks. Like the whole set but hate the price..............haha Zhiming
Platinum Senator Chronometer
I wonder when and if GO will offer a platinum Senator Chronometer that is not part of this limited edition? Agree that this is just a spectacular watch. Marc
