Product Description

Embracing a rich heritage, Glashütte Original showcases its mastery through a collection of exquisite mechanical observation timepieces. Among these, the distinguished Senator Observer 1911 series pays homage to the legacies of Julius Assmann and Roald Amundsen. The inaugural edition, crafted in limited quantities from white gold, was unveiled as a tribute ahead of Baselworld in 2012. Following this, a stainless steel variant with a refined silver-grained dial made its debut at the prestigious fair later that same year. Julius Assmann, renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship in observation watches, established a legacy of meticulously handcrafted timepieces through his Glashütte workshop. These precision instruments earned renown for their unwavering accuracy and reliability, particularly in the face of harsh weather conditions, making them indispensable tools for navigators, aviators, and trailblazing adventurers like Roald Amundsen. The famed explorer, captivated by the precision of a pocket watch from Julius Assmann's Glashütte atelier, acquired the timepiece in 1910 from the German Naval Institute in Hamburg. Subsequently, equipped with such reliable instruments, Amundsen led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. The Senator Observer 1911 collection offers a range of variations to cater to diverse preferences. Models such as the Reference 100-14-02-02-07 and Reference 100-14-02-02-05 feature a calfskin strap with a choice of pin buckle or folding clasp, while the Reference 100-14-02-02-55 offers a short folding clasp option. For those inclined towards stainless steel bracelets, the Reference 100-14-02-02-14 presents a sophisticated choice. Alternatively, the Reference 100-14-02-02-01, Reference 100-14-02-02-04, and Reference 100-14-02-02-50 models boast luxurious alligator straps, each with a distinct closure option to suit individual preferences.
