stainless steel with the characteristic, screwed-on flanks of the Belisar collection.
- Case Diameter: The watch has a balanced diameter of 42 mm.
- Dial: The dial is in an elegant white and captivates with a variety of displays. It is equipped with silver-colored indices and features a tachymeter scale.
- Crystal: A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, often anti-reflective on both sides, to ensure optimal readability.

Inside the watch works a precise
automatic movement that features impressive complexity.

- Functions: In addition to hours, minutes, and small seconds, the watch offers a chronograph with counters, a complete calendar (day of the week, month, date), and a fascinating moon phase display.
Durability & Resistance
The Belisar line is designed for robustness and everyday usability:
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is generally 10 bar (100 meters), which is sufficient for daily use and light swimming.
- Case Back: The screw-locked case back features a sapphire crystal window that provides a fascinating insight into the finely decorated mechanical heart of the watch.
The Union Glashütte Belisar Chronograph Moon Phase (D014.425.16.017.01) is the ideal choice for lovers of traditional German watchmaking who are looking for a technically mature, functional chronograph with an elegant moon phase and classic design, and who value versatility through the strap.
The moon phase display is one of the most traditional complications in watchmaking. UNION GLASHÜTTE gives it a modern face. Slim, sporty, enduring - this is how the refined Belisar Chronograph Moonphase presents itself from now on. A round stainless steel case with a diameter of 42 mm and a striking but classic dial design dignify the chronograph. The pushers of the chronograph mechanism are joined by a discreet corrector at 10 o'clock, which allows the day of the week to be set separately. Anti-reflective sapphire crystal on both sides and water resistance to 10 bar (100 m) complete the list of attributes. Inside beats the automatic caliber UNG-25.S1 with silicon hairspring and an improved power reserve of 65 hours. The dial is in classic white with blue elements, which are divided as follows: The upper half of the dial displays the date. The chronograph functions are complemented by a 60-second counter and a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, as well as a 30-minute counter at 12 o'clock. The latter also houses an indicator for the day of the week and the month. The counter at 9 o'clock has a hand for the 24-hour display and a hand for the seconds display. The moon phase display is stylishly presented with a gold-colored moon against a blue firmament. The design is rounded off by a brown calfskin strap with crocodile embossing
