Product Description

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, Glashütte Original pays homage to its rich heritage with a collection of exquisite mechanical observation watches. Among them is the distinguished Senator Observer 1911, a limited edition masterpiece in white gold that commemorates the legacies of Julius Assmann and Roald Amundsen. Unveiled prior to Baselworld in 2012, this horological marvel was followed by a stainless steel variant at the renowned fair later that same year, featuring a refined silver-grained dial. Renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship, Julius Assmann was a master in creating these handcrafted marvels that were essential tools for navigators, aviators, and daring adventurers like Roald Amundsen. The unparalleled precision and durability of Assmann's observation watches made them indispensable companions in the most challenging of conditions, including Amundsen's historic expedition to the South Pole, where these timepieces proved their worth. Amundsen's fascination with a meticulously crafted pocket watch from the Glashütte-based Julius Assmann in 1910 led to its acquisition at the German Naval Institute in Hamburg. This timepiece became a vital part of Amundsen's equipment as he and his team achieved the remarkable feat of being the first humans to conquer the South Pole. Each variant of the Senator Observer 1911, identified by unique reference numbers, offers a choice of straps and clasps, ranging from calfskin to alligator leather, and stainless steel to suit individual preferences and styles. This collection exemplifies the fusion of tradition, precision, and elegance that defines Glashütte Original's commitment to horological excellence.
