Urwerk
UR-103 was launched at the Baseworld 2003, impressing with its
innovative approach to representing time. The iconic futuristic form of
its streamlined case houses an innovation orbital satellite complication
with time indicated by the orbiting hour satellites as they pass the
arc of the minutes. The slanting sides of the hour satellites ensure an
unencumbered view of the time without turning the wrist. Bold
SuperLumiNova provides excellent visibility by both day and night.
High-tech grade 2 titanium is used extensively throughout the satellite
complication. The grade 5 titanium Control Board on the back of the 103
was inspired by vintage marine chronometers which placed their more
rarely used functional indications on the back of the timepiece. The
Control Board is URWERK's contemporary interpretation of classical
horology and houses: the Chrono Meter with its dual 15 minute and
seconds dial for maximum precision when setting of time; the 43 hour
Power Reserve indicator; and the Fine Tuning screw which allows the user
the possibility of adjusting the watch's timing +/- 30 seconds per day.
