1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition Chronograph

D007.459.16.017.00

This elegant edition celebrates the legacy of over 125 years of German art of watchmaking. Its design takes elements from the history of Union Glashütte and carries them forward into the 21st century, with the shape of the satin-finished, polished 42 mm stainless steel case reminding you of old pocket watches. The sapphire crystal case-back of the Chronograph gives you a view of the tireless work of the hand-wound calibre. The watch is presented on a black calfskin leather strap, which is securely held by a double fold fastener made of stainless steel.

Description

The first Union timepieces were produced in Glashütte in 1893. Today, with a collection named after this significant year, the brand is reinterpreting elements from its own history. The shape of the case is inspired by historical pocket watches, while numerous other details – such as the blued hands, lacquered dials and "railway track" chapter rings – evoke memories of the great classics.

silicon balance spring

silicon balance spring

UNION GLASHÜTTE uses Silicon, a chemical element of the family of metalloids, in the manufacture of balance springs. By use of Silicon, our watches are insensitive to magnetic fields, temperature fluctuations and shocks. They are very stable in shape and resistant to oxidation. The silicon spiral guarantees higher power stability in our mechanical movements - so your watch runs precisely anytime, anywhere. You can recognize the use of the silicon spiral in your UNION GLASHÜTTE watch by the Si-poster that our watchmakers set and align by hand.
STAINLESS STEEL

STAINLESS STEEL

The only grade of steel used by Union Glashütte is stainless steel 316L. This alloy is characterised by its excellent anti-corrosion properties. For the relevant watches, the following components are produced from this material: cases, bracelets, double fold fasteners with two push buttons (decorated).
Saphir

Saphir

The sapphire used by Union Glashütte for its crystals is a white, synthetic sapphire. Thanks to its hardness rating of 9, this crystal can only be scratched by very hard diamond-like substances. Union Glashütte watches only use double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystals. As there are no reflections on the crystal, the full splendour of the dial is revealed.
LEATHER

LEATHER

Union Glashütte uses primarily calfskin for its straps, either smooth or with a crocodile skin finish, as well as cowhide, cordovan or goatskin.
Water resistance

Water resistance

All Union Glashütte watches are water-resistant as follows: Men's watches up to 10 bar (100 m) Ladies' watches up to 5 bar (50 m) Gold watches up to 3 bar (30 m). The water resistance cannot be guaranteed indefinitely. It may become compromised by ageing of the seals or knocks to the crown or push-buttons. We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your watch checked once a year by an approved Union Glashütte Service Centre and, if required, that you replace any defective parts. Do not open the watch yourself under any circumstances.
