PanoMaticLunar XL - Less is more
A statement of principle: less is more. Minimalism. Modern design. Function takes on form, and color is transformed into a subtle range of grays. The PanoMaticLunar XL. The quintessential understatement. The PanoMaticLunar XL presents the classic lines and look of the PanoMatic XL models in an understated, eloquent form. Set within the galvanized matt gray dial are the characteristic off-center hour/minute and subsidiary seconds dials, finely milled and galvanized in the same dark gray hue. The elegant moon phase display presents a shining silver moon and stars against a fine-grained silver sky. 
Applied white gold Arabic numerals indicating hour 12 are framed by white gold hour markers and white gold hour, minute and seconds hands. Enhancing the minimalist design is the visually compelling panorama date display, whose white numerals on a dark gray ground present the date without the need for a double window. The 42 mm stainless steel case offers both polished and satin-finished surfaces and is held securely in place by a finely-worked gray alligator strap. 
At the heart of the new PanoMaticLunar XL is the Caliber 90-02 automatic movement with its eccentric positioned and skeletonized rotor. Its finely finished elements, the three-quarter plate, Duplex swan-neck fine adjustment, Glashütte ribbing and sunburst decoration, characteristic of the fine art of mechanical watch making at Glashütte Original, are clearly visible through a sapphire crystal case back.

Thanks for sharing, Wim. Finally, an XL-Case in stainless
 . I like the minimalistic approached. The strap in a washed-out, matt tan looks gorgeous, too.
Cheers  ,
Christoph
Thanks for the details Wim.
What a beauty! Love the grey dial which compliments the steel case and makes the watch looks very elegant.
