Glashütte Original: Senator Cosmopolite

In preview of Basel 2018, Glashütte Original unveils the Senator Cosmopolite. The new model comes in a 44mm stainless steel case with blue printed Arabic minute numerals and blue appliques set off against a matte white lacquered dial. A small second at 6 o’clock and the panorama date at 4 o’clock complement blued central minute and hour hands. The separate home time display at 12 o’clock is combined with an exceptionally helpful day/night indicator and with the power reserve indicator “72 hours”.

At 8 o’clock two display windows present the destination as an IATA international airport code in one of three colours, and separate displays for daylight saving and standard time. Positioned at 9 o’clock is the newly designed day/night indicator with a small sun and stylised night sky.

With the new Senator Cosmopolite one can set the time in two time zones at once. A time zone ring offers a selection of the 36 world time zones currently in use. Each of them is displayed using an official IATA location code representing an international airport in the relevant time zone. The 24 time zones that do show a full-hour deviation are indicated using a black IATA code, further nine time zones with half-hour offsets are shown in blue and the remaining three IATA codes appear in red. The two windows at 8 o’clock allow the wearer to set summer and standard time.

Through the sapphire crystal case back is it possible to admire the Calibre 89-02 made in house by Glashütte Original. Price €.21.000.
