Marking the 20th anniversary of the Sachsen Classic, Union Glashütte has unveiled a limited-edition Noramis Chronograph.

Imbuing 1950s and ‘60s classic elegance into a contemporary timepiece, the chronograph also exudes a retro sporty appeal that echoes the Sachsen Classic. Spotlighted on the brown-colored dial is a design that harks back to the retro ventilation grilles as seen on special vintage cars. Incorporated with the grilles is a sunray chronograph subdial on one end, while a date display window is perched on the other.

The dial is further enriched with alternating Arabic numerals and a tonal handset, all doused in Super-LumiNova® coating. On top of that, the rail minuterie that’s included on the outer ring adds an extra layer of depth and dimension to the dial.

Cased in stainless steel, the time-teller measures 42mm in diameter and houses the watchmaker’s own UNG-27.S2 caliber with 65 hours of power reserve. Completing the timepiece are two leather strap options: a rally-style one in black or a smooth Cognac-hued version.

Released in a limited production of 350 pieces only, the Noramis Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2023 is priced at €3,600 EUR (approximately $3,955 USD). To enquire about its availability, head over to Union Glashütte’s official website.
