Union Glashütte - 1893 Anniversary Edition

Union Glashütte released three 1893 Anniversary models - Small Second, Large Second and Regulator.

As a tribute to the 175th birthday of Johannes Dürrstein's, the founder of the brand, Union Glashütte released three special models - Small Second, Large Second and Regulator - housed in classic 41 mm x 11.8 mm cases crafted from 316L stainless steel and water resistant up to 10 bar (100 metres / 330 feet).

The three 1893 Anniversary Edition models are presented in limited editions of 175 pieces each. A watch box designed to hold the trio and limited to just 100 pieces is also available.

Protected by a rounded sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both faces, the silver-coloured dials are enriched by sandblasted, grooved, burnished and granulated finishes and completed by blued hands and blue details.

The modular construction of the self-winding U 2899 movement made it possible to create the three variations: the Small Second with its elegant display reminiscent of historic pocket watches, the Large Second model with the horizontal arrangement of the main dial and the large second display, and the Regulator with the separate positioning of the hour and minute displays. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, the movement guarantees 42 hours of power reserve.

The decoration of the movement can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. The rotor bears the skeletonised brand lettering and the typical Glashütte stripe finish. 

The watches are completed by blue calfskin leather straps with crocodile-hide effect and secured to the wrist by double fold fasteners with two push-buttons.
