I have to say that the Glashütte Original caliber 37 moves are among the best-kept secrets in the watch world for people who like chronographs. There’s not anything else out there quite like it, and it must really get more attention for supplying as much functionality as it can in a package that looks very straightforward and elegant. Its appeal surely grew on me, and I believe anybody who likes a solidly constructed chronograph-based motion will appreciate it.From a functionality perspective, the grade 37 (37-02 in this watch) provides the time together with subsidiary seconds dial at 9 o’clock, big date (Glashütte Original likes to call it a “Panorama Date”) index, power reserve indicator, along with flyback 12-hour chronograph. I will also note that it has a stop seconds feature (which means that if you pull out the crown, the moments hand stops so that you can more precisely set the time). The chronograph appears to be a mere 30-minute chronograph at first, but then you notice that hours have been counted not through a dial, but a moving disc observable under 12 o’clock. I was worried about the legibility of something like this at first, but I learned to truly love it – and really find this system for studying a 12-hour chronograph superior to most others. Like I said, the chronograph is a flyback, and managed through a pillar wheel transmission which you are able to view from the movement when seeing it through the sapphire crystal throughout the rear of the case.Finally, Glashütte Original completes the high-functionality package by adding a discreet power reserve indicator within the top left quadrant of the subsidiary seconds dial. It will cut out a small bit of the dial of the indicators, but that’s a very small cost to pay for this extra performance that I really appreciate. From a performance perspective, the 37-02 motion operates at 4Hz (28,800bph) using a power reserve of about three days.
The enchanting, delicate blue mother-of-pearl dial of the PanoMatic Luna is worth seeing. Mother-of-pearl is an organic inorganic composite harvested from the inmost layer of certain mollusc shells. To achieve the precise hue desired, the back of the delicate white source material is carefully coated with a layer of lacquer. The mother-of-pearl’s natural graining renders each piece absolutely unique.
