Glashütte Original Senator Chronograph and Senator Chronograph Navigator
Glashütte Original has introduced two new flyback chronographs, the Senator Chronograph and the Senator Chronograph Navigator, replacing previous Panorama Date models. The Navigator model adopts a utilitarian tool-watch aesthetic with a matte black dial and Arabic numerals, contrasting with the more classic Senator Chronograph's galvanic silver dial and Roman numerals. Both watches feature a revised 41mm stainless steel case and the in-house Caliber 37-24 automatic chronograph movement.

The Senator Chronograph Navigator features a matte black dial with three-dimensional, solid, luminescent applied Arabic hour numerals and printed white text for contrast.
The classic Senator Chronograph has a galvanic silver dial with solid-gold applied Roman numerals and fully blued steel hands.
Both models feature the in-house automatic chronograph Caliber 37-24 with flyback functionality, an oversized Panorama Date, and a silicon balance spring, beating at 28,800 VpH.
The Navigator model has a brushed case with polished facets and a conical crown, while the classic Senator Chronograph has a fully polished case.
The steel bracelet on the Navigator is fully brushed, whereas the bracelet on the classic model features a broad, polished center link.
The removal of the 12-hour totalizer and power reserve indicator from the dial is noted as a design improvement for better negative space and focus on the date.
Movement finishing includes Glashütte striping and blued screws, with a skeletonized rotor visible through the exhibition caseback.
