Introducing The Full Titanium URWERK UR-100V Magic T

In the event you take a look at the gathering of watches supplied by impartial watchmaker URWERK, there are definitely some daring and visually hanging watches. Vibrant accents, sci-fi-inspired circumstances, and shows merely distinctive to the watchmaking world. However the model has additionally demonstrated greater than as soon as, particularly with its UR-100 assortment, its capability to play on monochromatic tones and impartial tones of uncooked supplies. This watch has been seen already in a number of tone-on-tone editions, both in carbon, in black titanium and even in uncooked titanium. The brand new version, dubbed UR-100V Magic T, feels acquainted at first sight, but it surely’s a brand new tackle the gray tones of titanium. 

This new version is all concerning the exploration of chilly colors, monochromatic tones and reflections and chromatic subtleties of the fabric itself. After I first noticed this new mannequin, I instantly assume it was an encore of the full-titanium UR-100V right here, a watch with a case and bracelet made on this gray light-weight materials, with a tone-on-tone show. The brand new Magic T is deceptively completely different. And it’s all about nuances and small touches. As Felix Baumgartner, grasp watchmaker and co-founder of URWERK, factors out, “we’ve cherished and admired uncooked titanium (be aware: he’s speaking about this version), and now we’ve it gleaming in full brilliance, because of gentle, refined shot-blasting. All the fantastic thing about the steel is there.”

So right here we’re, the principle novelty throughout the UR-100V Magic T is concerning the ending of the case, and the way it will play with the ambient gentle. Opposite to the primary full-titanium version of 2021, this new tackle the light-weight steel will not be about uncooked ending however about refined touches. The case is right here finely blasted, providing a fragile texture, a brighter color and way more brilliance and reflections. The 41mm x 49.7mm case, not exaggeratedly giant based on the model’s requirements, in addition to the complete bracelet and the crown, are executed on this newly completed, brighter titanium. Monochromatic, muted however not flat, this new version is someway a traditional for the model.

New additionally for this URWERK UR-100V Magic T is a piece on the weather of the dial, which have been reworked barely to carry higher distinction, extra complexity and but improved legibility. The unique full-titanium mannequin was so muted and monochromatic that it was someway tough to level on the time. This new version has extra textures and contrasts, so studying the time because of the all-time traditional wandering hours and satellites transferring alongside a graduated arc of a circle turns into simpler.

As for the remaining, and mechanically-speaking, the UR-100V Magic T stays the identical horological UFO because it was in different editions. And it’s not solely due to its distinctive show but in addition as a consequence of two lengthy recesses on the edges of its satellite tv for pc provider – distance travelled on Earth (at 10 o’clock), and distance travelled by Earth (at 2 o’clock), each defined extra exactly on this article. The again of the watch reveals the identical calibre 12.02 as different fashions, an computerized base motion with 4Hz frequency and 48h energy reserve, bringing energy to the in-house satellite tv for pc module. The again additionally reveals the complete rotor ruled by a profiled airscrew generally known as the Windfänger, a tool used to minimise shocks and scale back put on and tear.
