A 36mm stainless-steel dress watch that swaps a central seconds hand for a small-seconds display, extends power reserve, and arrives in three dial and strap variants priced below the existing Seris Date.
36mm stainless-steel case with domed sapphire crystal, 50m water resistance, and a 9.88mm thickness—compact, dress-oriented proportions.
UNG-28.S1 movement (ETA 2892 evolution) with silicon hairspring and about 60 hours power reserve, running at 25,200 vph.
Three dial options (blue sunray, champagne embossed sunburst, matte white with rose-gold accents) paired with either a steel bracelet or calfskin straps.
# What the Seris Small Second is and where it fits Union Glashütte has added a compact, more formal member to its Seris family. The Seris Small Second keeps the collection's smaller case ethos and dressy presentation but changes the seconds display and movement to deliver longer autonomy between windings.
# Design and dimensions The case measures 36mm across, 42.67mm lug-to-lug, and 9.88mm thick. It's stainless steel with a domed sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coating on both sides. The caseback is a screw-down sapphire crystal that reveals the movement. Water resistance is rated at 50 metres. Those dimensions and finishes position the watch clearly as a dress piece intended for everyday wear rather than a sports model.
# Dial layout and variants Hours and minutes are displayed centrally. A small-seconds subdial sits at 6 o'clock and shares that zone with a date window framed in chrome or gold-coloured trim depending on the version. Polished indexes are used across the range.
There are three launch configurations:
All straps and the bracelet use a double-folding clasp with two push-buttons.
# Movement and technical details Second uses the UNG-28.S1, described as an evolution of the ETA 2892 fitted with a small-seconds module. Key technical points:
This movement takes the 2892 platform and extends its running time while adding a silicon balance spring and repackaging the seconds as a small-subdial at 6 o'clock.
# Pricing and positioning Retail prices at launch are EUR 2,350 for the blue-bracelet variant and EUR 2,200 for each leather-strap variant. That places the Seris Small Second below the Seris Date models, which retail at roughly EUR 2,600, and frames this new model as a more affordable dress-watch option within the collection.
# How it compares to recent Union Glashütte releases Union's recent launches have leaned toward chronographs, including the Averin and Belisar chronographs. The Seris Small Second is deliberately different: it emphasizes compact size, dress styling, and a movement revised for longer autonomy rather than chronograph functions.
# Who this is for Second suits buyers seeking a smaller, dress-style mechanical watch with modern movement improvements—longer power reserve and a silicon hairspring—at a mid-tier price point. The three dial-and-strap combos cover classic dress-watch looks while the mirrored caseback allows buyers to see the movement details.

Just before summer, Glashütte Original invited us to its manufacture in eastern Germany. It was a great way for me to get to know the brand a little better. But the most important reason for the visit was the presentation of a few new releases. Jorg will cover the new Seventies collection in a separate […] Visit Fliege
