Noramis Date Watch D016.407.16.047.00

The Watch

The heritage and expertise of Union Glashütte shine through in every timepiece they create. Technically sophisticated and beautifully finished, their watches represent the pinnacle of German watchmaking - a statement piece for those who want to stand out with style. Today, the brand introduces this stunning D016.407.16.047.00 from the Noramis Date collection. It blends the classic elegance of the 1950s and '60s with contemporary design and modern technology. The round case is crafted in 316L stainless steel, measuring 40 mm in diameter with a thickness of 3.90 mm. Designed for men who appreciate prestige, it weighs 81 grams and is topped with a domed sapphire crystal that adds charm while protecting the dial from daily impacts. The anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures optimal legibility. The knurled crown at 3 o'clock lets you adjust the central indicators. Finally, the transparent case back in sapphire crystal, secured by screws, offers a beautiful view of the movement's inner workings while maintaining water resistance of 10 ATM.

The Dial

This stunning model features a round dial in a magnificent blue tone inspired by the paintwork of vintage 1970s automobiles. Clean and minimalist in style, it perfectly complements the watch's retro-classic look. The silver-toned indices combine baton markers and Arabic numerals, adding to its charm alongside a discreet minute railway track around the perimeter. The alpha hands for hours and minutes are silver-toned with a luminescent coating for comfortable legibility even at night, accompanied by a matching slim seconds hand. The date window at 3 o'clock adds functionality and visual interest. The brand places its name as a signature at 12 o'clock and notes the collection name above the 6 o'clock index along with the place of manufacture.

The Movement

At the heart of this timepiece beats an automatic movement developed in-house by Union Glashütte - the proprietary UNG-07.S1 caliber. Built on the ETA 2892-A2 base and fitted with a silicon hairspring, this German-made movement is renowned for its robustness and reliability. Anti-magnetic, it features 21 jewels and beats at 25,200 vibrations per hour (3.5 Hz), smoothly driving the hands and date window for precise timekeeping. It delivers a 60-hour power reserve.

The Strap

This beautiful watch comes paired with a stunning blue calfskin leather strap featuring tone-on-tone stitching for an extra touch of character. It pairs effortlessly with any outfit - from casual to sophisticated - for an effortlessly polished look. With a lug width of 21 mm, it fastens with a double folding clasp with two pushers in 316L stainless steel for a secure, comfortable fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - a genuinely water-resistant watch. Ready to take the plunge with you, it handles everything from puddles to the pool without complaint. Showers, baths, and active swimming are all fair game. That said, our Ocarat watch experts note that this model - while water-resistant - is not suitable for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and any pushers dry during immersion.
