Use a 90-02 movement or any of the older movements. Recall that most of the panos were 39mm up until 2012. Inverses were even originally branded as Panoinverse XL to indicate the overszed case. The 90-02 movement remains the same. The case just changed. It is now both bigger in diameter and thicker for some reason. Heck even the panograph and panomatic chrono were in 39mm. Granted the 91-04 has a different (and stunning) execution of the moonphase than any of those calibres, but the large case size just seems to be part of GO's design language for the past 10 years or so. Whether a smaller version is possible is likely only know to GO. However, it seems they intentionally make their watches oversized. Everything seems to be XL today.

For some of us, that just makes the current watches too large. So despite really liking the brand, more vintage pieces are preferred to current offerings. I really like the GO pieces from the early 2000s, but that makes me the odd man out. I know I would buy a 40mm or smaller inverse in a heartbeat were such a thing available. Alas, it is not.
