1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double Moon Phase“

  The 1893 Johannes Dürrstein Edition „Double Moon Phase“ by UNION GLASHÜTTE expands the 1893 line with a particularly sophisticated timepiece. It combines traditional Glashütte watchmaking craftsmanship with modern precision and reflects the visionary ambition of company founder Johannes Dürrstein: the highest accuracy, artisanal perfection, and the realization of exceptional watchmaking ideas.

Dial with a traditional character

At the heart of every watch lies its dial and this is where this model reveals its distinctive appeal. The warm champagne tone, inspired by traditional silvering techniques, gives the surface a soft, vibrant depth. Depending on the light, its appearance subtly shifts, turning every movement of the wrist into a new visual experience.

Finely engraved Roman numerals stand out with a delicate three-dimensional effect, underscoring the classic aesthetic. At the center of attention is the elaborately designed double moon phase: it simultaneously displays the lunar cycles of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, creating a fascinating interplay between technology, aesthetics, and the natural order of time.

Harmony in every line

With a case diameter of 41 millimeters, the watch presents itself in well-balanced proportions—striking without appearing obtrusive. Its clear lines and finely harmonized silhouette lend the timepiece a confident elegance that impresses both in everyday wear and on special occasions.

The domed sapphire crystal, anti-reflective on both sides, enhances the depth of the dial while providing reliable protection. The overall aesthetic is completed by a brown leather strap with a fine crocodile embossing and a high-quality folding clasp—details that combine wearing comfort with refined style.

Mechanical precision with character

At its heart beats the hand-wound caliber UNG-58.S2—an intricate movement that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. Each winding of the watch becomes a conscious ritual, directly connecting the wearer to the mechanics of their timepiece.

The three-quarter plate, manufactured and refined in Glashütte, stands for true artisanal craftsmanship and gives the movement its distinctive appearance. It is complemented by a full calendar in combination with a moon phase display—an elaborate mechanical composition that harmonizes functionality and fascination.
