Glashütte never fails to make their watches as accurate as possible. For a watch to be certified as a chronometer, it must fit into some standards. A non-certified watch will typically have a time variation of about 5+/- seconds throughout one day, with 2+/- seconds being the best you can find. A truly certified mechanical watch will most often have a variation of about 1+/- second throughout one day. The Original Senators Excellence measured at a difference of about 5+/- second difference over the course or TWELVE DAYS. This means that Glashütte had the same variability as a non-certified watch, only it was across twelve days as opposed to one day. The watch accuracy was also tested in six different positions, when the certification standards only require five. The Original Senators Excellence not only meets, but exceeds chronometer certification standards.

Glashütte focused on stability as one of the main components for this watch. To create a more stable watch, they added compact features and eliminated traditional features. One of the innovative new features that make this watch more compact is its automatic movement. This meant that Glashütte were able to eliminate and replace components that would be more susceptible to wear and tear, such as a traditional watch’s winding system, with their own bi-directional-winding mechanism, creating a watch that functions more accurately as well as one that has a longer life span. Going along the lines of replacing the old with the innovative, Glashütte have created a silicon balance spring, as opposed to the traditional copper or iron spring. By making the hairspring out of silicon as opposed to metals, the spring is immune to corrosion, much more temperature resistant, and non-magnetic. This means that the watch will have a higher accuracy in more extreme weather conditions, as well as having a longer life span. Along with a bayonet mount helping keep the inner-workings of the watch stable and shock resistant, the Original Senators Excellence has innovative features that make the watch not only extremely accurate in all situations, but also extremely accurate for a very, very long time.

The Original Senators Excellence is Glashütte Originals’ first watch with a 100-hour power reserve. This amazing feat is due to Glashütte only having one spring barrel. The watch has anti-reflective sapphire crystals on both the front and the back of the watch. The dial has a silver-grain lacquered finish with roman numerals displaying the 12 and 6 hour marks, while the rest of the hours are in Arabic numerals. The case of the watch is 40mm and the thickness is a sleek 10mm. With an alligator leather strap, the watch fits comfortably and elegantly on the wearers wrist. The Original Senators Excellence is a simple and elegant watch. It can be worn in almost any situation with its elegant dial and simple finish. At the same time, the watch boasts a number of impressive feats, such as 100-hour power reserve, and contains some innovative features that not only make the watch more accurate, but also make the watch one worthy enough of a lifetime.
