Union Glashütte is known for its partnerships with several classic car rallies and tours that celebrate both the joy of driving and the passion for mechanical watches. The latest timepiece created in this spirit is the Noramis Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2024. This limited edition of 350 pieces is dedicated to the rally of the same name, which will take place from August 15 to 17 and will wind its way through some of the most charming roads in the German brand’s home state of Saxony.
In typical Union Glashütte style, the Noramis Chronograph Sachsen Classic 2024 combines tasteful retro design with a first-class automatic movement, beautifully finished in the brand’s workshops in Germany’s famous watchmaking town. Equipped with an anti-magnetic silicon balance-spring, a second stop and a comfortable power reserve of 65 hours, the UNG-27.S2 is beautifully finished with blued screws, perlage and a personalized rotor decorated with Geneva waves.
While most Noramis models evoke the classic elegance of the 50s and 60s, this model is inspired by the 70s and 80s. As such, it is presented in a rather bold color scheme with touches of orange, light blue and white. The chronograph hands and the tachymeter scale, which is positioned next to the minute scale, are in orange, while the small seconds subdial and the minute counter are in blue. The same rings true for the second scale. A nice detail is the date window in a rather unusual position at 9 o’clock. All in all, the look and feel is the familiar Noramis style, but with a cool twist.
The dial is protected by a slightly domed sapphire crystal, which further enhances its appearance. The polished 316L stainless steel case, water-resistant to 100 meters, has a diameter of 42 mm and is mounted on a blue leather strap with racing perforations and light-blue stitching. The chronograph pushers display the typical mushroom style of the Noramis collection.
The Noramis Chronograph Sachsen Classic 2024 retails for approximately $3,900 when converted to USD.
