    Senator Sixties Chronograph - Attractively Powerful Design



    The exciting era of the “wild ’60s” was the source of Glashütte Original’s designers’ inspiration in creating the Senator Sixties line. With the Senator Sixties Chronograph the Saxon manufactory now adds another aesthetic model to a line already so crowned by success.

    Turning back time is not necessary in the case of the Senator Sixties Chronograph since this timepiece symbolizes the joie de vivre of the ‘60s very clearly for its wearer. The convex shape of the sapphire crystal on the front and likewise domed dial cleverly attract the observer’s eye. Domed, skeletonized hands glide harmoniously across the satin-finished dial, while the diamond-cut hour markers featuring characteristic dots of SuperLumiNova and the extravagant font of the numerals illustrate design typical of these years.

    Glashütte Original’s designers positioned the chronograph totalizers at 3 and 9 o’clock on the 42 millimeter dial. Polished silver zones allow the counters to integrate beautifully into the entire look of the dial design. The start and stop functions of the stylish chronograph are easily activated by the wearer with the aid of rounded buttons placed on the side of the case.

    The shaped sapphire crystal case back first seen on the Senator Sixties models is naturally also present on the Senator Sixties Chronograph. It not only allows a direct view into automatic manufacture Caliber 39-52 with its characteristic elements of Glashütte watchmaking such as a three-quarter plate, swan-neck fine adjustment, Glashütte ribbing, and double sunburst decoration, but also for the first time makes a side view of the rotating oscillating weight crafted in 21-karat gold possible.

    The energetic look of the Senator Sixties Chronographen is continued in its finely worked crocodile skin strap, the refined scales of which perfectly complete the retro design of this timepiece. The stainless steel model is available with a choice of a silver-colored or black dial.


    Glashütte Original represents a living, authentic manufactory, high exclusivity, traditional watchmaking since 1845, exclusive mechanical masterpieces, and “Handmade in Germany.”

              i believe you have the wrong brand.

              as far as i know current GO production has no plastic coating on the movement finish.

              for GO they use germanic silver (alloy of copper, nickel + silver). it does not need any treatment usually. nor does it oxidize. same with the Lange Movements.

              for the 60 range the finishes are: anglesite-finished edges, winding wheel with double sonar finish, three-quarter plate, skeletonised rotor with stripe finish etc......nothing about plastic on them.

              the only coating i know of is Epilame. its part of the stuff that keeps the oils in it own place and prevents it from spreading all over the place. Epilame is likely PTFE based. Epilame is commonly used in the watch industry today already.

              hope this helps
