Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Sachsen Classic 2021

The Belisar Chronograph Sachsen Classic was created by UNION Glashütte specifically for the Sachsen Classic vintage-car rally. The 2021 edition continued the brand’s long-running partnership with the event and represented the tenth watch UNION Glashütte had designed for the rally during its eleven-year partnership.

The watch combines traditional mechanical watchmaking with a strong vintage motorsport aesthetic. Its blue dial, contrasting black sub-dials, racing scale, pump-style chronograph pushers, and leather strap create a design inspired by classic racing instruments and historic automobiles.

Limited Edition of 350 Pieces

One of the most important characteristics of the Belisar Chronograph Sachsen Classic is its limited production. UNION Glashütte produced only 350 examples of the 2021 edition, giving the watch a distinctive collector-oriented character.

The limited production was directly connected to the Sachsen Classic partnership, making this model particularly interesting to enthusiasts of vintage automobiles, motorsport-inspired watches, and German mechanical watchmaking.

Vintage Racing-Inspired Dial

The dark blue dial is one of the defining visual features of this Sachsen Classic Watch. Black chronograph counters provide strong contrast, while the racing-inspired minute scale reinforces the connection with historic motorsport.

Contemporary coverage describes the dial as having a checkered minute track inspired by a racing finish flag. Arabic numerals and baton-style markers complete the vintage-inspired layout.

44mm Stainless-Steel Case

The Belisar Chronograph 2021 features a substantial 44mm stainless-steel case. Its size contributes to the watch’s strong wrist presence while providing enough space for the detailed chronograph dial.

The case incorporates distinctive side elements characteristic of the Belisar collection, while the vintage-inspired pump pushers reinforce the retro character of the Sachsen Classic edition.

Domed Sapphire Crystal

A slightly domed sapphire crystal contributes to the watch’s vintage appearance while providing modern scratch resistance.

UNION Glashütte specifically highlights the slightly curved sapphire crystal as one of the details that enhances the retro character of the Sachsen Classic 2021 chronograph.

Automatic Chronograph Movement

Inside the Belisar Chronograph Sachsen Classic is the automatic UNG-27.01 movement. Contemporary specifications identify the calibre as being based on the Valjoux 7753 architecture, with UNION Glashütte finishing and components.

The movement provides approximately 60 hours of power reserve and can be viewed through the sapphire caseback.

Motorsport-Inspired Chronograph

The chronograph function is central to the character of this Racing Chronograph Watch. The pump-style pushers and contrasting sub-dials create an appearance reminiscent of vintage racing timers.

The Sachsen Classic connection makes the chronograph particularly appropriate for enthusiasts who appreciate historic automobile rallies and classic motorsport design.

Blue Leather Strap

The watch is fitted with a blue leather strap that complements the blue dial. The strap features a contrasting red underside, adding another subtle motorsport-inspired detail to the design.

The leather construction also helps balance the substantial stainless-steel case with a more traditional and comfortable wrist-worn appearance.
