“Brit Chic” made in Glashütte? Absolutely! With a dial in stunning British Racing Green and a strap made of supple British cordovan, the Noramis Date from Union Glashütte is pleasantly reminiscent of classic English racing cars. Indeed, it is the perfect, stylish companion for your next road trip in your favourite Savile Row suit and driving cap, or just simply to sit back and plan such a dream.
The elegant, dark-green dial is a true eye-catcher thanks to its metallic shimmer, the result of tiny metal particles in the varnish. The dial truly gleams under light and the optical effect is accentuated by the placement of its own rounded surface under a domed sapphire crystal, stunning even without a bezel. The Super-LumiNova® coating on the tapered hands and dotted markers above the indices ensures that telling the time is always an easy matter.
The watch strap is crafted from supple British cordovan, its stylishly understated brown tone and smooth finish a delight to wear, and a truly perfect finishing touch to the genuine feel of this classic watch. The fine yet robust leather becomes softer and more comfortable as it ages, a quality which has made cordovan famous in high-quality goods and footwear. For the Noramis Date, the strap is totally fashioned by hand.
Beyond this great style, nonetheless, what really marks this timepiece out as a Union Glashütte, is its high-quality inner workings: a mechanical UNG-07.01 movement that is decorated, assembled and calibrated by hand, by Glashütte’s famous watchmakers. Visible through a sapphire crystal case-back, the movement offers a running time of up to 60 hours and an exceptional level of stability and precision. The rotor, manufactured in-house, also ensures highly-efficient and reliable winding. Last but not least, the Noramis Date is water-resistant up to a pressure of 10 bar (100 metres) and is available for a purchase price of €1860.00 (recommended retail price).
