Blending the very essence of German fine watchmaking with cutting-edge technology, its timepieces stand as the perfect choice for anyone seeking authentic, robust, and highly reliable pieces. Ocarat is thrilled to introduce the Chronograph Sport Watch D012.927.18.097.00 from the Noramis collection - a refined blend of elegant aesthetics, sporty design, and sharp precision. Designed for the modern, discerning man, it draws on the classic codes of the 1950s and 60s, reinterpreted for today's standards of design and technology. Comfortable to wear, this sport-chic timepiece will elevate your everyday look while giving you the confidence to embrace any adventure. Count on its high performance and rugged build to meet every challenge, even in the most extreme conditions. Its round case is crafted in 316L stainless steel and measures 43 mm in diameter with a thickness of 15.80 mm - perfectly sized for all-day comfort. Weighing 136 g, it features a brushed/polished finish that adds a distinguished, refined character. It is topped by a notched bezel for everyday practicality. Adding a touch of sleek elegance to the overall design, it features a black ceramic insert marked with minute graduations, including a luminescent triangular marker. Rotating, it lets you measure elapsed time at any moment - perfect for diving, for example. It surrounds an anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal treated on both sides. The crystal sits above the dial, providing enhanced shock resistance and improved legibility. A notched, screw-down crown sits at 3 o'clock, flanked by two pushers for adjusting the hours, minutes, date, and chronograph. A third pusher at 10 o'clock enables quick date correction. On the caseback, a transparent display lets you admire the watch's movement. It is secured with screws, guaranteeing water resistance to 200 meters.

The Dial

A round dial sits with refined precision within the case, elegantly highlighting the sophisticated beauty of this watch. Inspired by the ocean's depths, its smoked dial is enhanced by brushed lines and a delicate turquoise hue that contrasts beautifully with the various silver markers for a dazzling effect on the wrist. At the center, two baton hands with pointed tips sweep smoothly to indicate hours and minutes. They feature a luminescent coating, ensuring easy reading in low-light conditions. The same treatment is applied to the hour indices around the perimeter for exceptional nighttime legibility and an elegant daytime look. These are rendered as an Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock and as triangles elsewhere, except at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock, which give way to two subdials. These handle the 30-minute and small seconds functions respectively. The subdial at 9 o'clock features a date window with a white background and black Arabic numerals for added functionality. The third slim central hand with its luminescent triangular tip tracks the chronograph seconds. For quicker timekeeping, the perimeter is marked with lines and white triangles forming a minute track. The dial is signed with the "Made in Germany" label, a nod to this watch's origins. Finally, the brand places its name below 12 o'clock and on the opposite side indicates the collection name and water resistance with the mention "Chronograph."

The Movement

Housed within the case, an automatic movement ensures the smooth, reliable operation of the watch, allowing all its components to function with precision. Renowned for its exceptional quality and outstanding performance, it is specifically the in-house caliber UNG-27.S2, crafted by the watchmakers at Union Glashütte. Fitted with 29 jewels and beating at 28,800 vibrations/hour - a frequency of 4 Hz - this movement delivers accurate, dependable display of hours, minutes, seconds, date, and chronograph functions. It is equipped with a stop-seconds device and a silicon hairspring, granting enhanced resistance to magnetic fields, shocks, and temperature variations.

The Strap

The strap on this watch is crafted in fabric, reinforcing its sporty, urban character. It features a woven structure and a stunning grey tone that pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from the most polished to the most casual. It wraps your wrist with delicate refinement, ensuring comfortable all-day wear. With a lug width of 21 mm, it blends modern style with rugged versatility, taking you seamlessly from city streets to underwater dives - flexible yet tough. Fitted with pushers, its double deployant clasp in 316L stainless steel makes it easy to put on and take off with no risk of losing the watch.

Water Resistance

With a water resistance of 20 atmospheres - equivalent to 200 meters - this model is what our experts would confidently call a "dive watch." Our watchmaking specialists agree that while this timepiece is more than suited to showering, bathing, swimming, freediving, and recreational scuba diving, it is not designed for extreme deep-sea diving, where pressure would eventually compromise its water resistance. For professional divers looking to push depth limits, we recommend models rated at 30 atmospheres or more. We also recommend avoiding the use of pushers or the crown while in the water to maintain a perfect seal at all times!
