An exceptional limited edition has just been created, merging the world of classic rallies with German watchmaking excellence. Discover how this unique piece is likely to turn the heads of the most demanding collectors.
A collaboration that celebrates mechanical art in all its forms
Union Glashütte has just unveiled its latest creation: the Noramis Chronograph Limited Edition Sachsen Classic 2024. This exceptional watch, limited to just 350 pieces, pays tribute to the famous rally of the same name which will be held from August 15 to 17.
This prestigious event, which winds through the most picturesque roads of Saxony – the historic birthplace of the brand – offers an ideal setting to showcase Union Glashütte’s watchmaking expertise. The symbiosis between the automotive world and mechanical watchmaking has never been more evident than through this unique piece.
A bold retro design that won't leave you indifferent
Unlike the usual Noramis models that draw inspiration from the classic elegance of the 50s and 60s, this special edition draws its inspiration from the bold aesthetics of the 70s and 80s. The result is striking: a brightly coloured dial that is sure to attract all eyes.
The bright orange of the chronograph hands and the tachymeter scale contrasts elegantly with the light blue of the minute counter and the small seconds counter. The date, originally placed at 9 o'clock, brings a welcome touch of asymmetry that energizes the whole.
The polished 316L stainless steel case, with a diameter of 42 mm, is mounted on a perforated blue leather strap that evokes the world of motorsport. Light blue stitching adds an extra touch of refinement, while the “mushroom” chronograph pushers recall the signature style of the Noramis collection.
Precision mechanics worthy of the greatest
Beneath this eye-catching design lies a high-flying automatic movement: the UNG-27.S2. Entirely assembled and finished in the workshops of Union Glashütte in Glashütte – a German city renowned for its watchmaking expertise – this caliber makes no compromises on quality.
Equipped with an antimagnetic silicon balance spring, a stop-second function and a comfortable 65-hour power reserve, this movement combines performance and reliability. The finishes live up to the highest expectations: blued screws, perlage decoration and a personalized rotor adorned with Côtes de Genève.
An exclusive not to be missed by discerning collectors
With a retail price of around 3,600 euros, the Noramis Chronograph Sachsen Classic 2024 is positioned as a collector's item accessible to discerning enthusiasts. Its limited edition of 350 pieces makes it a rare watch that is sure to increase in value over time.
This special edition perfectly embodies the philosophy of Union Glashütte: combining watchmaking tradition and technical innovation in creations with a timeless style. It will appeal to both automobile enthusiasts and lovers of fine watchmaking looking for a unique piece.
Don't delay in getting your hands on this little mechanical gem that is likely to sell like hotcakes as soon as it is released. Whether you are a fervent fan of classic rallies or simply looking for a watch with a strong character, the Noramis Chronograph Sachsen Classic 2024 is an absolute must-have.
So, are you ready to embark on a journey through time on your wrist, to the rhythm of roaring engines and the precise ticking of your new collector's watch?
