Glashütte Original Senator Observer

Glashutte Original Senator Observer white dial front
Last year, Glashütte Original introduced a limited-edition watch called the Senator Observer, a white-gold timepiece that celebrated the memory of German watchmaker Julius Assmann and famed explorer Roald Amundsen. It was modeled on the traditional observation watches (more widely known as "deck watches”) made in the German town of Glashütte, which were www.welwatch.org used by navigators to determine a ship’s position at sea. This year, at the Baselworld watch fair, the company launched an unlimited version in a stainless steel case with two dial options.

Assmann was one of the legendary watchmakers who established the industry in Glashütte, located in the German state of Saxony. His firm specialized in the manufacture of observation watches and marine chronometers, which were renowned for their precision and reliability, particularly under extreme weather conditions. Pioneering explorers such as Amundsen, who took several Julius Assmann observation watches with him on his legendary expedition to the South Pole in 1911, found these timepieces to be indispensable instruments for navigation.

The Senator Observer takes its design cues directly from those vintage observation watches made in Assmann’s Glashütte atelier, though its interior workings have at least one significant difference: in contrast to the hand-wound movements of the historical deck watches, the movement in this contemporary version, Caliber 100-14, is self-winding.
