Glashutte original senator navigator panorama date 100-03-07-05-04

[Chewbacca]

Anyone have any idea why some have the transparent caseback and some do not? I own one with a stainless steel caseback so I called GO and they said they don’t ‘customize’ their historical Ltd. pieces and wouldn’t answer whether I could improvise or if they offered a sapphire option. Apparently this was never ‘officially’ offered with a sapphire caseback so it’s quite confusing. Even the Hondinkee used page says it’s a solid stainless steel caseback.

That's odd - I thought they only came with the sapphire casebacks. Never owned the panodate but did have a navigator with the small date at 3:00. Had the transparent caseback and remember when the panodate first came out and thought it similarly had the sapphire back. Don't own the watch anymore...but bought a senator excellence due to missing that design and wearing experience. Love GO

Most if not all today are. But this ‘historical’ one didn’t have it due to the series number going on the caseback I suppose.

I actually prefer the feel of the stainless steel as with most sapphire back ones I own but it’s such a beautiful movement it would be nice to see it.

Was happy to hear of someone else with the Senator Navigator…loved that series and was quite jealous of the panorama date when I first saw it. Great watch
