Glashütte Original · Family: Senator Excellence
The Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Panorama Date (ref. 1-36-03-01-02-30) is a 40mm dress watch in stainless steel, with a grained silver dial and the brand's signature Panorama Date — a two-disc concentric calendar at 4 o'clock with an instantaneous jump. It runs the in-house Caliber 36-03, automatic, with a silicon balance spring and a power reserve exceeding 100 hours. Cazador has no verified price observations yet for this reference. It marks Glashütte Original's first reference in Cazador's catalog, a German manufacture based in the town of Glashütte, Saxony, the historical cradle of German watchmaking since 1845 and today owned by the Swatch Group.

The watchmaking tradition of Glashütte, the small Saxon town where the manufacture is based, dates back to 1845, when Ferdinand Adolph Lange and other watchmakers settled there to found an industry that would go on to rival the great Swiss watchmaking centers. After the Second World War and the subsequent nationalization of the workshops under East Germany, Glashütte Original as a modern commercial brand was established in 1994, following German reunification, carrying forward the technical legacy of those historical workshops. It is now owned by the Swatch Group.
The Senator collection is the manufacture's classical watchmaking line, and within it, the Senator Excellence — introduced in 2016 — represents its most refined execution: a restrained case, a three-hand dial, and the Panorama Date, the two-disc concentric calendar system Glashütte Original patented, which allows an instantaneous date jump at midnight, unlike single-disc calendars that change progressively.
This reference, 1-36-03-01-02-30, runs the in-house Caliber 36-03, an automatic movement developed and manufactured entirely in Glashütte, with a silicon balance spring — a material that reduces the movement's sensitivity to magnetic fields compared with traditional steel — and a skeletonized rotor with a 21ct gold oscillating weight. Its power reserve exceeds 100 hours, nearly double what's typical for a three-hand automatic, thanks to a twin-barrel system.
The dial, in a fine-grained (grainé) silver tone, pairs laser-engraved indexes with a railroad-style minute track and blued, pear-shaped hands, an aesthetic vocabulary that echoes the German watchmaking tradition of the late 19th century. With 50 meters of water resistance and an alligator leather strap on a deployant buckle, the Senator Excellence Panorama Date is positioned as a high-manufacture dress watch, not a sport piece.
This is the first Glashütte Original reference Cazador adds, extending the catalog to a second high-end German manufacture alongside A. Lange & Söhne, Nomos Glashütte, and Sinn already present, and representing Saxony's watchmaking tradition under Swatch Group ownership.
Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.
It's the brand's patented calendar system, made of two concentric discs at 4 o'clock that allow an instantaneous date jump at midnight, instead of the progressive change seen in single-disc calendars.
The tradition dates to 1845, when Ferdinand Adolph Lange and other watchmakers settled in this Saxon town. Glashütte Original as a modern commercial brand was established in 1994, after German reunification.
It belongs to the Swatch Group, the same Swiss group that owns brands such as Omega, Longines, and Breguet.
It exceeds 100 hours (roughly 4 days), thanks to a twin-barrel system, nearly double what's typical for a three-hand automatic.
It has 50 meters of water resistance, enough for splashes and rain, but it isn't designed for swimming or diving.
Silicon reduces the movement's sensitivity to magnetic fields compared with traditional steel, improving precision stability in everyday use.
