The Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar pairs an intentionally off-center display with a Panorama Date and moon phase, giving it a distinctive alternative to a conventional round-dial layout. Its appeal depends heavily on whether that arrangement and the exact dial reference suit your taste. This is a specification-based review, not a hands-on assessment of fit, legibility, or timekeeping.

What the PanoMaticLunar displays

Calibre 90-02 drives four stated functions: hours and minutes, small seconds, Panorama Date, and moon phase. Their asymmetric placement is the central design choice: the hours and minutes occupy one area of the dial while the small seconds, large date, and moon display fill other zones. The layout is not a centered, conventional arrangement, so an in-person look is especially useful if you are unsure about visual balance.

Green, silver, and blue references are not interchangeable

Color, finish, and strap details below apply to the named references; they should not be assumed to describe every PanoMaticLunar.

Reference Dial and moon phase Documented strap configuration and options
1-90-02-13-32-66 Stainless-steel case; varnish green-black dial, with black Panorama Date on an ivory-colored background and silver/silver moon phase. Glashütte Original describes the gradient as a galvanic nickel base, black lacquer at the edges, and a transparent green lacquer coat. Grey synthetic fabric is the listed standard configuration. The manufacturer lists brown Louisiana alligator nubuck leather, grey synthetic fabric, and stainless-steel bracelet choices. The page gives 20 mm end-link width and 75 × 120 mm strap dimensions.
1-90-02-42-32-66 Stainless-steel case; fine-matt silver galvanized dial with applied indexes, black Panorama Date on an ivory-colored background, and blue/silver moon-phase display. Grey synthetic fabric is pictured. The manufacturer lists black alligator, bracelet, grey synthetic, and dark-blue synthetic choices. It says the grey and blue synthetic straps are made from recycled fishnets; this is the manufacturer’s materials claim.
1-90-02-46-32-61 Blue-dial version documented by US retailer Wempe. Wempe lists a blue alligator strap. The cited listing does not establish the manufacturer’s full strap-choice range for this reference.

For the green version, the maker also describes the convex moons and polished surfaces of the moon disc as made in-house. For the silver version, Glashütte Original says the dial is produced in around 40 separate work steps; that is a manufacturer statement, not an independently verified count. Compare the exact watches in varied light, since the green gradient, silver surface, blue hands, and moon-phase colors create different visual effects.

What movement is in the PanoMaticLunar?

The cited green and silver models use Glashütte Original manufacture Calibre 90-02, an automatic movement. The manufacturer specifies a 42-hour power reserve, with a ±5% notation, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). These are published specifications, not independent timing-test results.

Through the sapphire case back, the listed movement details include a Glashütte three-quarter plate with stripe finish, hand-engraved balance bridge, duplex swan-neck fine adjustment, and a skeletonized off-center rotor with the double-G symbol and a 21-carat gold oscillation weight. The manufacturer also lists bevelled edges, polished steel components, and blued screws. These describe construction and finish; by themselves they do not establish accuracy, durability, or superiority over another movement.

How big is the PanoMaticLunar?

Glashütte Original lists both cited steel references at 40.00 mm in diameter and 12.70 mm in height, with 5 bar water resistance. The pages do not state lug-to-lug length or weight. Diameter and height alone cannot predict how the case will sit on a particular wrist, so try the exact reference on before buying if fit is important.

A 5 bar rating is a specification, not enough on its own to establish that a particular activity is suitable. Consult the manufacturer’s use guidance rather than inferring swimming suitability from the rating.

Strap, bracelet, and fit checks

Strap choices vary by reference, and a listed option does not guarantee that every strap or bracelet fits every configuration. Before ordering an alternative, confirm compatibility with the exact reference, along with end-link width, clasp or buckle, and strap length. The green reference’s page lists a 20 mm end-link width and 75 × 120 mm strap dimensions; the cited silver and blue listings do not establish equivalent measurements.

  • Try the watch on wrist, rather than relying on its 40 mm diameter alone.
  • Inspect the dial in different lighting and decide whether the asymmetric display works for you.
  • Verify the exact reference, included strap, fastening, and compatibility of any planned replacement.

How much does a Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar cost?

Glashütte Original shows price on request for the cited green and silver references and notes that price may vary with strap fastening. A single universal price is therefore not established by those manufacturer pages.

When accessed, Wempe’s US listing for blue reference 1-90-02-46-32-61 showed $12,400 excluding tax. The listing identified Wempe as an official concessionaire and stated a two-year manufacturer warranty plus one year of Wempe warranty. This is a seller- and market-specific listing, not a price for the green or silver references or a universal current retail benchmark. Recheck price, inventory, and warranty terms for your market before purchase.

Is the Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar worth buying?

It merits consideration if you want an asymmetric German mechanical watch with a large date, moon phase, and a movement whose listed finishing details are visible through the case back. The green, silver, and blue examples differ enough that choosing by collection name alone is not sufficient: judge the specific dial and strap configuration.

Buy only after checking the individual watch’s fit and purchase terms. The available specifications do not establish service intervals or costs, independently measured accuracy, resale value, or comparative reliability, so they cannot answer those ownership questions.
