I think I get you
I couldn't really put my finger on it when I tried it on...when I saw it, I was pretty sure I could pull it off with casual wear which is the norm for me, but something about it didn't jive, and somehow the JLC UTT Moon did. It was probably the additional date dial, moon phase and the markers that were non Roman that made it work. With the Senator Automatic, something did not work and I struggled with trying to understand it. It is no secret that I'm a big fan of GO, and it's likely the same reason I find that my Senator Panorama Date doesn't always work with casual also. Strangely though, the Sixties with its more dressy first appearance is the more versatile one.
Still, I do like the look of it and the classic interpretation of the overall design, just that I probably will keep it in the safe more than on my wrist if I got it, and that's not something I would want to do. And that reliable caliber will provide years of problem free running, I'm sure.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and putting some of mine in perspective

What are your views on this Senator?
The Senator Automatic - not really seen a lot of discussion surrounding this quiet, "entry level" GO. Looks strikingly similar to the new boutique edition blue hands Lange, though this came out much earlier. The movement is the tried and tested Cal 39 so ...
beautiful
Am a huge fan of recent GO offerings, but this one does have everything I like... the Numerals, I do like the logo at the end of the seconds hand, if anything I am not too sure about the case of the bezel, I wish it was maybe slightly thinner... but I am ...
It's actually not very thick
I don't have the specifications but it felt only marginally thicker than the Senator Sixties. Only main difference between them would be the flat caseback on this one vs the curved sapphire on the Sixties. Trying it out for yourself would be help determin...
Agree with you. The absence of the date is a good point for the dial, IMO.
Nice looking watch! Best, Nicolas.
I think the lack of a date works well for this watch
but I feel the need to throw in this Senator in which I think the date works quite well. I think the movement is impressive as well. I love the planetary gear that regulates the power reserve. Cheers. Stewart ...
No disagreement there
The Senator Chronometer is likely one of the best watches that come from GO, and really practical at that! Beautiful piece you have. Richard
This may be the first discussion ever . . .
. . . of the Senator Automatic introduced a few years ago. Glad you brought it up, Richard, although I must admit my perspective has been colored by the recent introduction of the similarly styled Senator Panorama Date. The aesthetic is formal, which work...

It has a little bit of a static quality
The design feels 'still'. there's n o dynamism or sensuality. It is classic and very nice, but a bit dull. Since you asked!
This is actually probably my favorite dial from GO....
.... Was smitten with its sheer simplicity, seduced by its clean lines. Unfortunately, I was let down by its lackluster movement. No offence to the base calibre 39, but compared to its siblings, it just is not attractive enough. I'm thus tempted by the ne...
