URWERK UR-100 Blue Planet (Pre-loved)

In 2019, we celebrated Urwerkโ€™s launch of the UR-100โ€” the brandโ€™s smallest and slimmest watch to dateโ€” with a collector gathering in Boston. The newest model by Felix Baumgartner and Martin Martin Frei was a home run. Itโ€™s a pleasure for us to deliver today another stunning example in the UR-100V Blue Planet.

The novelty of this variant of the UR-100 is its deep blue color, set to represent our planet and space. Produced through an special PVD treatment of the sandblasted case, the blued treatment of the timepiece doesnโ€™t stop there. PVD coating is applied to the rotor, satellite hour complication as well as the movementโ€™s plate and bridges. This creates an amazing varied look that bodes well with the space-travel nod on the UR-100. As collectors will notice, the luminova tipped hand on the satellite time indicator pokes through 10 and 2 oโ€™clock to reveal timeโ€™s most intimate companion: distance. At both locations on the dial, this timepieceโ€™s owner can see the distance the earth has traveled on its rotation (555km) and the distance the earth has revolved around the sun (35,740km). For the thinking human, this is a decidedly philosophical watch to reflect on our position in the cosmos.

As for wearability, itโ€™s not often a topic of discussion with modern independent watches. Pushing the boundaries of design doesnโ€™t always mean easy to wear. Yet in the case of the UR-100, this is the easiest to wear of any Urwerk timepiece without any doubt. As the brandโ€™s most modestly sized timepiece, 14mm in thickness and 41mm wide, collectors with smaller wrists have a lot to celebrate. With all of the emblems of Urwerkโ€™s innovative approach to horology and an amazing fit on the wrist, this timepiece is bound to become another classic in Urwerkโ€™s work at the cutting edge of horology.
