With the Belisar Chronograph Silvretta Classic 2026 Limited Edition, UNION GLASHÜTTE looks back to the golden era of 1980s rallying. It was a time when the scent of gasoline filled the crisp mountain air, engines roared through tight bends, and vehicles were pushed to their limits amidst extreme risk. Inspired by an iconic rally car from that era, the chronograph captures its striking aesthetic and unmistakable presence. The DNA of this automotive legend is reflected in the details of this strictly limited edition. At the same time, the watch preserves the spirit of freedom, adventure, and passion that ensures the rallies of the 80s remain unforgettable to this day.
With its uncompromising performance and distinctive appearance, the historic original shaped an entire generation of rallying. This combination of technical finesse and powerful presence is mirrored in the chronograph’s design. At the Silvretta Classic 2026, the vehicle itself will take to the starting line—serving as a living testament to the design inspiration behind this timepiece.
The striking color scheme—combining white, black, and gray with yellow and red accents—gives the watch a powerful visual presence. The white dial is defined by a central, gray, grained element that evokes the stylized structure of an engine, adding depth to the design. The yellow minute track, featuring Super-LumiNova® dots, ensures optimal legibility while serving as a bold visual highlight. It is complemented by a black tachymeter scale and tachymeter-style sub-dials; their design—featuring black rings and red accents—evokes the look of motorsport cockpits.
Black, PVD-coated hands with Super-LumiNova® ensure excellent readability, even in demanding conditions.
The 44-millimeter stainless steel case follows the signature Belisar architectural style, featuring screwed-on flank elements. Mushroom-style pushers and a distinctive crown underscore the watch’s functional nature. For maximum versatility, three strap options are available—all featuring a convenient quick-change system: a yellow textile pass-through strap with white stripes (designed to be worn comfortably over a racing suit), a stainless steel bracelet, and a black leather strap with a yellow underside. Each strap echoes the chronograph’s bold color palette and reinforces its sporty, dynamic character.
Inside, the watch is powered by the UNG-27.S1 automatic caliber, which delivers exceptional precision and a power reserve of at least 65 hours.
