D007.459.16.017.00
Made in Germany
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.

STAINLESS STEEL
Union Glashütte uses only 316L stainless steel for its cases, bracelets, and clasps. This alloy is characterized by high corrosion resistance, skin compatibility, and durability, providing a reliable foundation for everyday use. At the same time, finely machined and polished surfaces contribute to the watch's distinctive appearance.
While stainless steel remains durable in use, it can—especially polished surfaces—acquire minor marks. To preserve the surface for as long as possible, it is recommended to avoid contact with hard or abrasive materials and to store the watch separately from other objects. After exposure to salt water or chlorine, it should be rinsed with clean water and dried with a soft cloth.
Regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is sufficient for maintenance; a slightly damp cloth can be used if necessary. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents or abrasive materials. The finest signs of wear can be reduced through professional servicing, thus preserving the original finish for years to come.

Leather straps
Union Glashütte primarily uses calfskin leather – smooth or crocodile-embossed – as well as cowhide, horsehide, and goatskin for its watch straps. As natural materials, they give each watch an individual character and develop a distinctive patina over time.
Slight variations in color and surface are typical of the material and emphasize its individual character. Depending on use, the material will change over time – therefore, replacing the strap is a natural part of long-term use.
