Introducing The Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Silvretta Classic 2024

For the 26th time, classic car enthusiasts are gathering to drive across the Alps in the Montafon Valley in Austria with their automotive treasures. Union Glashütte is once again presenting a limited-edition timepiece for the Silvretta Classic rally.

Union Glashütte, a Swatch Group brand based in the renowned Saxon town known for German watchmaking, returns with a refreshed version of its retro Belisar Chronograph. This relaunch will benefit from exceptional product placement at the upcoming Silvretta Classic vintage car rally in July.

The case is made of stainless steel 316L with a diameter of 44mm and a thickness of 15.01mm. The tapering lugs feature a vertical brushed surface and a polished bevel extending to the screwed-on case flanks. The domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces complements the case, which offers 100m of water resistance. The date can be adjusted via a pusher in the case at 10 o’clock. while the one at 3 o'clock is for the chronograph.

The brown dial comes with a sunburst finishing, The special colour of the dial is reminiscent of cars from the 70s and 80s. The tachymeter scale bordering the dial is wider and incorporates a red pulsometer scale. 

The three snailed sub-dials are matte white with black borders and markings, the 30-minute at 3 o’clock has a red area from 0 to 5 to evoke the rev counters of historical automobiles, and the 12-hour counter incorporates the date aperture with a white background at 6 o'clock. at 9 o'clock is the small seconds counter.

The hour and minute hands, as well as the dots at the tips of the hour indices, are treated with Super-LumiNova. The central chronograph seconds hand features a red arrow-shaped tip, matching the red hands on the chronograph counters.

Powering the watch is the automatic caliber UNG-27.S1. This movement measures 30.00 mm in diameter and 7.90 mm in height. It includes a cam-operated chronograph mechanism, featuring an anti-magnetic silicon hairspring and a 65-hour power reserve.

The Belisar Chronograph is available with a stainless-steel bracelet or a leather strap. and it is a limited edition of 200 pieces and priced for EUR 3,450 which is equivalen to 16,600 AED.
