The classic version features a finely grained silver dial with blue-coated Roman numerals and blued hands, while the Navigator variant has a matte black dial with luminous applied Arabic numerals and large lume-filled sword hands.
Both models offer a choice of an alligator leather strap, a synthetic textile strap, or a stainless steel Oyster-style bracelet, all with quick-release spring bars.
The Senator Chronograph has a conventional knurled crown, whereas the Navigator variant features a larger, grippier pilot’s crown.
The Caliber 37-24 movement is based on the Urofa 59, runs at 28,800 vph, has 47 jewels, and includes an antimagnetic silicon balance spring, blued screws, and a skeletonized rotor with a 21K gold weight.
A notable feature on both watches is the Panorama Date window, framed in white gold on the silver dial and present on the black dial as well.
The reviewer found the 41mm watch surprisingly comfortable on a 17cm wrist due to its 12.9mm thickness and sloping lugs.
