Noramis Date Watch D016.407.16.087.00

The Watch

Since 1893, Union Glashütte has refined and expanded its watchmaking expertise through beautifully crafted, high-end timepieces. Each model is a perfect expression of the brand's values - distinguished by its sharp design and exceptional quality. Today, the brand presents this magnificent model D016.407.16.087.00 from its Noramis Date collection. This line revisits the elegance of classic 1950s and '60s watches, infusing them with a modern sensibility. The watch features a round case crafted from 316L stainless steel with a 40 mm diameter, a thickness of 3.90 mm, and a weight of 81 grams. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, renowned for its toughness and resistance to everyday shocks and scratches. A double anti-reflective coating on both sides ensures optimal legibility of the central indicators. Time-setting is handled by a silver crown at 3 o'clock, with a knurled edge for easy grip. Finally, the transparent sapphire crystal case back, secured by screws, offers a stunning view of the movement's inner workings while guaranteeing 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

Inspired by the automotive world, the stunning round dial blends elegance with understated sophistication. It wears a rich dark grey tone accented by chrome elements that give it its distinctive flair. The perimeter features a white minute track for a striking visual effect. Baton indexes and Arabic numerals in a silver finish catch the light beautifully, highlighting the dial's clean purity. They frame two matching alpha hands indicating hours and minutes respectively. Luminescent, they ensure readability even in the darkest environments. The seconds are tracked by a slender silver seconds hand, while the date window at 3 o'clock keeps you on schedule. The brand signs its name just below the 12 o'clock index.

The Movement

This beautiful watch is powered by an in-house automatic movement - specifically the proprietary UNG-07.S1 caliber, built around a silicon hairspring and equipped with 21 jewels for smooth, precise timekeeping. Based on the ETA 2892-A2 platform, this antimagnetic movement beats at 25,200 vph (3.5 Hz). Power reserve stands at 60 hours.

The Bracelet

The strap on this superb timepiece blends elegance with vintage style. Crafted from grey calfskin leather and detailed with tone-on-tone stitching, it's as charming as it is refined. It will complement any outfit effortlessly. The strap measures 21 mm at the lug width and fastens with a double deployant clasp in 316L stainless steel fitted with push-button releases for secure, comfortable wear.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this boldly styled timepiece is as confident at a gala as it is in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, the bath, or the pool (even during an energetic swim!). That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants to be clear: this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or use with high-pressure washers. Remember: shower, bath, and swimming only - and never operate the pushers or crown while submerged.
