Union Glashütte - Belisar Chronograph Speedster Limited Edition

The UNION GLASHÜTTE watch brand presents its sporty chronographs in an eye-catching design. The inspiration behind the new Belisar Chronograph Speedster is a decidedly unique one. Based on a classic car, the dial is split into two zones, with the top two thirds in a sporty silver and the lower third seemingly dipped in a vibrant yellow. The sporty feel of the watch marries perfectly with the carefully considered vintage elements: Retro pump push-buttons, a slightly domed sapphire crystal and the striking railway track chapter rings. The timepiece also features a bright yellow rubber strap and an additional reversible nubuck leather strap in black with yellow tack stitch. This sporty chronograph with vintage accents is limited to 288 finest-quality pieces.

The ever-popular UNION GLASHÜTTE Belisar Chronograph has been given an eye-catching makeover. The sporty silver of the dial is contrasted against the punchy yellow tone in the bottom third to create a timepiece that is guaranteed to turn heads. The timepiece is modelled on a classic car with a truly unique design. Here too, part of the predominantly silver sports car is painted a vibrant shade of yellow. The hands are also reminiscent of the classic car look. The hour and minute totalisers are in anthracite and fit seamlessly into the line of Belisar chronographs. The classic railway track chapter rings and the retro pump push-buttons and the slightly domed sapphire crystal capture the vintage character of this otherwise sporty watch. Alongside the UNION GLASHÜTTE lettering, the Limitierte Edition wording in yellow highlights its exclusivity. The exact limited edition number for each watch can be found on the screwed-on case back.

The dial on the wristwatch features totalisers as well as classic hour and minute hands that are coated with Super-LumiNova®. The chronograph hand is black, whilst the chronograph counter hands are fully painted in yellow. The date display is at 6 o'clock. The chronograph measures a total of 44 mm and features the very latest UNG-27.S1 movement with silicon balance spring and 65-hour power reserve. A veritable power house.

Another detail is the bright yellow rubber strap, which accents the yellow of the dial to great effect. The watch also comes with an interchangeable strap in black nubuck leather with yellow tack stitch to complement the look. The underside is completely yellow. Thanks to a clever reversible design, the yellow is also visible on the side of the strap. The Belisar Chronograph Speedster is available at a recommended retail price of EUR 3200.00 including VAT.
