I like to at least try on a timepiece before offering a review, I was lucky enough to wander into a Glashütte Original boutique in Dresden. So while this was the opportunity, it was some time before the green dial of the PanoMaticLunar was released so I never tried on the green dial.

The PanoMaticLunar is a stunning timepiece, what I don’t know is if the forest green dial will age gracefully. The current trend is green dials, this is ok, people love this right now. I am seeing the larger dial trend reversing back to smaller dials and I would think green dials are a fad. At 40 mm, the PanoMaticLunar is sized at about the maximum a dress watch should be, I am guessing 38 mm is the ideal size for a dress watch. Some with smaller wrists prefer 36 mm, that is fair.

The 90-02 in-house movement is pretty special, 47 jewels with a 42 hour power reserve. The finish is exquisite, the three quarter plate is Glashütte design, the skeletonised rotor has a 21 carrot oscillation weight. I think the PanoMaticLunar is a pretty special timepiece, the dial design is amazing and whilst I have never been a fan of moonphase, I like this one. Glashütte Original is a top-tier watchmaker, this is an excellent example of Glashütte watchmaking.
