The Watch

The Noramis Date D016.407.16.037.01 by the esteemed Union Glashütte house is a seamless blend of timeless elegance and retro design. Its round case in 316L stainless steel makes this timepiece both versatile and robust. With a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of just 10.40 mm, it sits gracefully on both men's and women's wrists. The polished case finish, paired with a balanced weight of 80 grams, gives this watch an unmistakably refined air. A standout feature is its transparent screw-down caseback for optimal water resistance. That transparency - made possible by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with double anti-reflective coating - offers a captivating view of the intricate mechanical movement and the balance wheel in action.

The Dial

The dial of the Noramis Date stands out with its grey tone and matte finishes, exuding understated sophistication. The well-proportioned luminous hands glide gracefully across the dial's face, ensuring accurate time reading even in the darkest environments. Arabic numerals are harmoniously arranged alongside indexes and a minute track, reinforcing the dial's classic and functional character. The dial is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, whose curvature is cleverly designed to improve shock resistance while minimizing glare thanks to its double anti-reflective coating. The elegant date window, subtly integrated at the 3 o'clock position, preserves the visual harmony of the whole while delivering a practical, everyday function.

The Movement

At the heart of the Noramis Date beats a Swiss automatic movement, caliber UNG-07.SI, celebrated for its precision and reliability. Its balance wheel, oscillating at 25,200 A/h (3.5 Hz), ensures flawless timekeeping - a testament to Swiss watchmaking excellence. This caliber features a silicon hairspring, boosting resistance to magnetic interference and shocks for optimized longevity. The power reserve reaches 60 hours - an exceptional duration that lets the wearer set the watch aside without losing accuracy. The movement's refined design, visible through the transparent caseback, reflects the latest technological advances integrated into this watch.

The Strap

The strap of the Noramis Date is crafted in black calfskin leather with a distinctive alligator pattern, lending the piece a look that is simultaneously classic and luxurious. The embossed alligator texture delivers timeless appeal while ensuring exceptional wrist comfort. With a lug width of 21 mm, it contours perfectly to the wrist, secured by an elegant butterfly deployant clasp. The butterfly clasp, in a silver-tone finish, provides a secure yet easy-to-use closure while adding an extra stylish flourish to this refined timepiece accessory. Every stitch is executed with meticulous precision, reinforcing both the durability and the aesthetics of the strap.

Water Resistance

With water resistance rated at 10 atmospheres, the Noramis Date is perfectly suited for everyday wear, including surface water activities. This water resistance provides protection equivalent to 100 meters of depth, safeguarding all internal components against moisture and splashes.
