STYLISH MEN'S WATCHES FOR TRUE GENTLEMEN

(Advertisement) A gentleman is never late – or so they say, don’t they? Yet men’s watches are so much more than just a timepiece. They embody a lifestyle, understated elegance and demonstrate good taste. The new Belisar Chronograph Moon Phase from Union Glashütte embodies all these qualities – an exquisite companion for the man of the world. Whether for your next business meeting, dinner or everyday life: this watch is a real eye-catcher.

Men’s watches: tradition meets the future

For over 125 years, Union Glashütte has been synonymous with quality and the finest movements. At the turn of the century, Johannes Dürrstein, the original founder of the watch factory in Saxony, introduced innovative and modern manufacturing methods in Glashütte. Our ‘Product of the Month’ from Union, the Belisar Chronograph Moon Phase, embodies this progressive spirit and the challenge of the new, as well as the precision required in the time-honoured tradition of Glashütte watchmaking.

But what does “Belisar” actually stand for? An online search quickly reveals an Eastern Roman general of the same name. Military expertise and strategy distinguished him and his many successes; operas and epics were dedicated to him. Even if he was not originally the inspiration for the watches – the chronograph certainly lives up to this name.

Precision and technology

The moon phase display is also a time-honoured feature of watchmaking. The Belisar Chronograph presents it in a whole new light – with an extraordinary dial design featuring a finely perforated honeycomb pattern. Thanks to its anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the chronograph is a treat for any technology enthusiast, as one can observe the inner workings of the watch right down to the details of the movement components.

However, it is not only the exquisite appearance that captivates, but also the delicate date and calendar mechanism, which can be experienced up close in this special automatic calibre. Another advantage is the use of innovative materials such as the semi-metal silicon, from which the balance spring is made, ensuring the precise running of the movement. This means the chronograph remains unaffected by magnetic fields and cannot be thrown off course. The functions, including hour and minute counters, are arranged on the dial. The Belisar Chronograph Moon Phase stands out in the vast world of men’s watches thanks to its durability and timeless design in modern matt black or grey.

This is a watch for men!

What is the best way to style this marvel of technology? The elegant, colour-coordinated straps complement a wide variety of clothing styles. A black rubber strap looks particularly good for everyday wear and combines robust qualities, no matter what the occasion. The soft, grey nubuck leather strap pairs particularly well with a suit and a classic trench coat or wool coat for a touch of understated elegance. This versatile men’s watch also looks superb with a casually rolled-up shirt and chinos or jeans, acting as an absolute eye-catcher.
