Glashütte Original launched the Senator Navigator Worldview at Baselworld 2011 as an homage to the early days of aviation and the adventurous pilots who crossed the globe.
The Glashütte Original Senator Navigator WorldView has an adjustable city-ring that allows its user to determine the time across several different time zones. In the early days of flight a watch was very much part of a pilot’s on-board instrumentation.
Pilot watches were developed and produced whose main design requirements were their size – they needed to be worn on top of thick layers of warm clothing – and their readability had to be at a glance whether day or night. To help with navigation they had to be accurate as well.
With oversize numerals for ideal readability, the Navigator WorldView also sports Glashütte Original’s own panorama date at 6 o’clock, placing the wearer firmly in control.
The generously sized case measures 44mm. The sapphire case back reveals the calibre 39-47 movement, it has a skeletonised rotor with 21ct gold oscillation weight, swan-neck fine adjustment, together with a Glashütte three-quarter plate with stripe finish.
The Glashütte Original Senator Navigator Worldview can be yours for around US$11,422 – which when you come to think about it is more than the cost of a round the world air ticket.
