Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Speedster Limited Edition

This new model from the Swatch Group brand draws inspiration from a unique vehicle, echoing its asphalt-grey paintwork and red stripes in the bold dial design. Black totalisers contrast sharply with the grey, while retro pump push-buttons and railway track chapter rings add vintage charm.

F

or this year’s Speedster collection, Union Glashütte is seizing upon the eye-catching colour scheme of a sports car that features a one-of-a-kind paint job. The combination of asphalt-grey paintwork and a striking red accent in the form of a stripe running from door to door across the sports car.

This gives the vehicle its unmistakeable look. The otherwise monochrome tones of the vehicle – the asphalt grey, the black tyres and the stainless steel coloured exhaust pipe – are reflected in the high-octane styling of the case and in the black totaliser on the watch.

The sporting credentials of the watch are underscored by vintage elements, such as retro pump push-buttons and railway track chapter rings, all of which lend the Belisar Chronograph Speedster the status of a modern, bold sports timepiece.

The vehicle’s impressive speed can even be measured on the watch thanks to the incorporation of a tachymeter. The car’s flashes of red are echoed not only in the eye-catching accent stripe on the dial, but also in the red hands and the red rubber strap.

The new Belisar Chronograph Speedster Limited Edition features the UNG-27.S1 automatic movement and an anti-magnetic silicon balance spring, as well as a power reserve of more than 65 hours. The hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova. This makes them easy to read even in the dark. Red accents on the central chronograph hand and on the 30-minute counter and the hour display lend a sporting character to the watch.

Production of the Belisar Chronograph Speedster is limited to 388 pieces worldwide. The individual limited edition number is engraved on the case back. The interchangeable rubber strap with sophisticated quick-change spring bar captures the dynamic of this model. For a little added elegance, the strap is also available in leather with racing holes.

The Belisar Chronograph Speedster Limited Edition is available at a recommended retail price of EUR 3450.00 including VAT.
