Product Description

Immersed in the rich heritage of precision timekeeping, Glashütte Original proudly presents its distinguished collection of high-end mechanical observation watches. Among these horological marvels is the renowned Senator Observer 1911, a limited edition masterpiece crafted in white gold as a tribute to the legacy of Julius Assmann and Roald Amundsen. Unveiled in a prelude to Baselworld in 2012, this exquisite timepiece was later joined by a stainless steel variant boasting a refined silver-grained dial at the prestigious fair later that year. A luminary in the realm of observation watches, Julius Assmann's eponymous Glashütte establishment was revered for its meticulous artistry in handcrafting these extraordinary timepieces. Renowned for their unparalleled precision and unwavering reliability, Assmann's observation watches proved indispensable for navigation officers, aviators, and intrepid explorers like Roald Amundsen, who entrusted these timepieces to guide them through the most challenging of conditions, including his historic conquest of the South Pole. In 1910, Amundsen's fascination with precision led him to acquire a superlative pocket watch from the esteemed Glashütte watchmaker Julius Assmann, procured at the German Naval Institute in Hamburg. This acquisition marked the prelude to his monumental expedition, culminating in the triumphant arrival at the geographic South Pole a year later. The distinguished series boasts a variety of configurations, each meticulously designed to cater to different preferences and styles. From calfskin straps with pin buckles to alligator straps with folding clasps, these timepieces offer a harmonious fusion of craftsmanship and elegance, ensuring a sophisticated touch for every discerning wearer.
