Watch Description
BELISAR CHRONOGRAPH
At once sporty chronograph and elegant, retro charmer, the Belisar Chronograph is equipped with state-of-the-art technology touched by tradition, with a vintage train-track minute scale, a domed dial and a tachymeter or pulsometer scale. Intricate details, such as the gently curved red tip of the chronograph second hand, the fine crown and push-button ornamentation, with on/off and reset icons as well as a “U” for UNION, attest to the care and creativity of the watchmaker. An ultra-modern mechanical movement UNG-27.S1 with a power reserve of up to 65 hours affirms the model’s undeniable place in the most modern of present-day watchmaking.
Sporty, stylish, unmistakeable: this men's watch unites nostalgic detailing with timeless good looks – not to mention Glashütte's unwavering precision, from a movement housed inside a round stainless steel case measuring a generous 44 mm in diameter. The UNG-27.S1, which features a silicon balance spring and a high power reserve of at least 65 hours. The push-buttons and crown on the right-hand edge of the case create an attractive design feature while also allowing for easy operation. Anti-reflective coating on both faces of the crystal, screwed-on flanks and a grey nubuck leather strap with light-coloured stitching complete the look. The timepiece is water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 m).
