Senator Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date . . .
. . . with blue dial on bracelet . . .
. . . grey dial on leather strap . . .
. . . and silver dial on rubber strap.
Usually not given to superlatives, but in this case, I'll make an exception: the Seventies Chronograph is conceptually stunning. I've yet to experience it in the metal; still, at this early vantage, this seems to be the watch that will put G O on an even keel with the established competition amongst premier sports watches. The cal 37-02 differs from the -01 presumably only by dint of its rotating hour counter visible thru an arced aperture, as opposed to the more common fixed 12-hour counter seen on the Senator Chronograph.
More info on the cal 37: the power reserve is seventy hours, implemented with a single barrel. How this is accomplished, I'm not sure. My guess is a novel mainspring technology; perhaps Don or Marcus will have details for us later. The balance is regulated by four gold screws located on the rim, so I'm assuming the whiplash adjusts beat rather than rate (again, hopefully Don or Marcus will fill us in).
I adore this one. Personally swore off chronographs altogether, not too long ago; now, I'd make an exception for a Seventies Chronograph.
Glashütte Original at Basel 2014: PanoMatic Inverse . . .
. . . in stainless steel. The rose gold version was previewed last month: Thoughts on the differences between the two, please. ...
Thanks for reminding us this one, Art.
I stick to my preference, the PanoInverse, in stainless steel, manual movement In my opinion, the dial is more coherent. Here, I have the feeling the indications are a bit lost. Best, Nicolas.

. . . in rose gold . . . . . . and platinum. The introduction of an entirely new chronograph movement isn't an event that happens often. In this day and age, most manufacturers build upon existing designs. The cal 37-01 is an entirely new construction tha...
I don't know about the cabochon, but the movement seems great
and finally non-modular like the Cal 39 chronos were.
Most cases rendered in platinum by G O . . .
. . . are complemented by crowns fitted with cabachons, Ed. It's a signature of their school of design. Cordially, Art
A new integrated automatic Chronograph?
Well that is something! I had hoped for something of that kind after the last year that showed us more a consolidation and model maintenance than technical novelty. I am really looking forward to learning more about this new calibre. We all know that G.O....

Certainly very
alluring pieces....can't decide between the blue or gray dial(more classical)...will have to be seen in the flesh Do you have the dimensions of the case size?---will be much appreciated ,too, if the projected prices are available best henry
From Glashutte's website...
The case is 40mm x 40mm x 13.5 mm. The thickness is not bad for a casual piece with decent water resistance. No idea on the price, but I'm guessing the MSRP will be in the mid to high teens for these SS models.
That would be my guess, too . . .
. . . which would create a dilemma for anyone considering one of the 'usual' sport watches. The creation of an affordable in-house automatic chronograph caliber turns the Seventies into a credible contender across a wide spectrum of potential clients. I'v...
Here's an image of a Seventies on my slender wrist . . .
. . . for illustration's sake, Henry. (Please note the clasp was not fastened.) The Seventies is a large-ish watch, but its squared form and proportions enable it to be worn fairly unobtrusively. I could wear one, and that's saying volumes. Cordially, Art...
I'm also liking the Seventies Chrono a lot!
I have already told my AD to let me know once the watch comes in. My preference would be the ruthenium dial in leather strap. Panorama date, chronography (flyback), stop-seconds, 70 hours power reserve, power reserve indicator, a full 12 hours chrono, uni...
The blue version
Gets a big and qualified YES ! This is the case to build arounf this movement. i live the way the hide the 12hours dial (even if will probably not be able to read the small digits in the window) this way it does not compromise then style of the dial. This...
My sentiments to a 't' . . .
. . . on all points, although my preference over the long run would probably run towards the ruthenium (grey) dial variant. Re the position of the Panorama date aperture: it's not only the location, Martin, but also the aesthetic harmony between the recta...
A bit late.. I stumbled over this lovely share !.. Great GO Chronos.. in fact..
.. although I'm not too much into colored dials, these first two ( The steel blue and the grey dialled) may have hit a sort of soft spot for rectangular shapes AND Chronographs ! Although normally I adore your GO- line of fine Karrees, maybe something to ...
Here's a coincidence for you: Riddler mentioned . . .

Rose gold one too warm...
The steel version has just the right amount of yellow gold accents to give warmth to the watch. Whereas the rose gold version seems too warm. Definitely prefer the stainless version.
The rose gold iteration exudes more warmth
This steel model looks a little cold. Maybe the gold accents on the engravings will tone that down in the metal. Will have to check it out for real to be certain.
Let' see
Looks good from the pictures. I ma curious to see what is does on my wrist. The manual version somehow did not sing to me in the end. I really liked the concept, but in the end I wondered when I would wear it and did not come up with a good answer. So I l...
I've been waiting for this one for 2 years
I loved the colour scheme of the PanoInverse XL in white gold. The golden swan neck just sent shivers down my spine. Even though the steel version is nice in its own regard, the steel-coloured swan neck just didn't give me that extra zing. The steel PanoM...
