Glashütte Original’s Panorama Date, or Panoramadatum in German, displays the date with two concentric discs mounted on the same plane. The digits appear side by side, without the central divider found in some large-date displays. In the Senator Excellence examples covered here, the manufacturer says the date jumps at midnight; case size, movement and other details depend on the exact reference.
How the Panorama Date works
Glashütte Original describes the display as two concentric date discs positioned on the same plane. One supplies the tens digit and the other the units digit, creating a broad date display without a vertical separator between the numerals. The manufacturer says its jumping-date mechanism changes the displayed date at midnight. These details describe the cited Panorama Date models, not every watch or movement made by Glashütte Original.

What Calibre 36-03 adds
Glashütte Original identifies Calibre 36-03 as an in-house automatic movement. Its listed construction includes a Glashütte three-quarter plate with stripe finish, regulator-free fine adjustment, a silicon hairspring, a skeletonised rotor bearing the Double-G symbol, and a 21-carat gold oscillation weight. The manufacturer also describes bevelled edges, polished steel parts, and polished and blued screws. These are construction and finishing descriptions, not independent findings about accuracy.
The Moon Phase version
The Senator Excellence Panorama Date Moon Phase reference 1-36-04-04-02-71 adds a moon-phase display to the date and uses Calibre 36-04. For this blue-dial reference, Glashütte Original lists a 42 mm stainless-steel case, 12.20 mm height, 5 bar water resistance and a 100-hour power reserve.

What the 24-day Excellence test means
Glashütte Original says the Senator Excellence models undergo a 24-day Excellence test that goes beyond German Chronometer Test requirements. The manufacturer says a Q engraving on the case back and a test certificate confirm completion for the cited family and model pages. This is the brand’s account of its test; the cited material does not provide an independent protocol, test results or third-party verification, so it should not be treated as an independent certification or accuracy measurement.

The cited examples give a useful starting point for comparison: 40 mm versus 42 mm case diameter, date-only versus date-plus-moon-phase display, and differences in dial and strap or bracelet configuration. Compare the complete reference rather than assuming a specification carries across the range.
- Check the exact case diameter and height against your wrist and preferences.
- Confirm whether the watch has only the Panorama Date or also a moon-phase display, and note the calibre listed for that reference.
- Verify the dial, case material, and included strap or bracelet on the specific product listing.
- Before buying another strap or bracelet, confirm the reference, attachment width, clasp and material. The manufacturer’s cited examples include 20 mm and 21 mm end-link widths, and its pages do not establish third-party strap compatibility.
The reviewed manufacturer pages do not establish current prices, stock, regional availability or seller authorization. They also do not provide a model-specific date-setting procedure or service interval; consult the documentation for the exact watch rather than inferring operating instructions from the mechanism description.
