Urwerk Introduces the UR-220 “Project Falcon” Watch

zelin0802

Few luxury watch brands capture the look and feel of science fiction quite like Urwerk. Even in the rare and fantastic ranks of haute horlogerie, Urwerk has built a line over the past few years that feels more at home on the bridge of the Romulan Warbird than any other from Switzerland. When the brand announced earlier this year that it would be discontinuing its iconic Wanderlust UR-210 series, it left a gap in the lineup that audiophiles were eager to see filled. Now, after months of uncertainty, Urwerk has returned to the roaming time concept with the improved UR-220, internally dubbed “Project Falcon” during development. While outwardly similar to the previous UR-210, nearly every element of the watch has been redesigned, from the slimmer, more ergonomic case to the redesigned movement from the ground up. Thus, the Urwerk UR-220 “Falcon Project” continues one of the brand’s signature looks while redesigning it for the new decade.

The first iteration of the Urwerk UR-220 featured a 43.8mm x 53.6mm lugless oval case made of carbon thin-layer composite. This multi-layered material (the case has a total of 81 layers of ultra-thin carbon material) results in a dark, striped look reminiscent of Damascus steel, with a uniform pattern of circular stripes. While the distinctive polygonal bezel and sapphire crystal and 12 o’clock crown are carried over from the UR-210, judging by the initial images, the UR-220 is much more profiled than its predecessor. While this is still a relatively thick watch at 14.8mm, it’s still a full 3mm thinner than the UR-210. A party piece for the UR-220 is located on the caseback, where a small sapphire display window highlights the “Oil Change” counter. This is a rotating display that tracks the number of months since the last service and reminds you of the recommended 39-month service interval. This is a fun way to remind the owner of the importance of service, and might make for a great talking point. The water resistance of the UR-220 may become a less popular topic, as this complex case is only water resistant to 30 meters.

Like its predecessor, the real heart of the Urwerk UR-220 is the skeletonized dial with the instantly recognizable ‘satellite’ roaming hour display. While the general layout is carried over from the UR-210, initial images show a narrower, more angular and visually cleaner design for the new series, with each rotating hour markers and retrograde minute hand dominated by a new serrated edge. Used for numerals and The font of the dial text has also undergone major changes, and the UR-220 has chosen a militaristic, angular steel stamp appearance. However, in addition to the font change, the retrograde minute scale on the bottom third of the dial also features a ribbed surface detail. While the proportions may appear confusing at first glance, the combination of the large central hands with the current hour markers and the current minute quickly becomes intuitive. The UR-220 also features dual power reserve indicators at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock, the model at 10 o’clock covers the movement’s entire 48-hour reserve capacity, while the indicator at 2 o’clock focuses on Last 24 hours reserved.

Despite more visual resemblance to the UR-210’s movement, the UR-7.20 hand-wound caliber inside the UR-220 has undergone significant changes from its predecessor. In addition to removing the automatic winding system found in the UR-210, the UR-7.20 also increased the power reserve to 48 hours while maintaining a single mainspring barrel. Power reserve has traditionally been Urwerk’s Achilles’ heel, as the sheer mass of the wandering hour and retrograde minute hands requires extra torque to move, and while 48 hours at a beat rate of 28,800 bph isn’t groundbreaking by any means, it’s important one step forward.

In keeping with the slimmer, more detailed, more aggressive aesthetic of the UR-220 series, Urwerk paired this new model with its first-ever rubber strap. There’s a wealth of visual detail here, from the angle-scaling layers that flow into the integrated case to the woven canvas pattern on the main face. Urwerk claims the strap is Vulcarboné-cured for extra softness, and the strap is secured with Velcro for quick attachment and removal.

With the UR-220 “Falcon Project”, Urwerk brings a series of powerful updates to one of its iconic series without compromising the series’ techno-sci-fi spirit. Popular cheap watch

ULYSSE NARDIN: Introducing the Marine Torpedo

zelin0802

Introducing the Marine Torpilleur, a lightweight, modern nautical timepiece for those who control their own destiny.

In the 19th century, when explorers roamed the oceans, the pocket timepiece was the captain’s watch, a sign of his status on shore and at sea. Ulysse Nardin’s pocket-sized chronometers are among the most coveted – prized by naval officers and merchant captains around the world. A vibrant nautical history has resulted in an iconic nautical chronometer, the ultimate expression of technical performance and beautiful design.

Now, there is a new generation of chronometers designed for the modern age: the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur.

Named after the small, fast boats of that early era, whose agility ensured they could easily outrun larger vessels, this is a timepiece for the contemporary explorer. The Marine Torpileur is a lighter, thinner version of the iconic Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer, designed for a younger, less formal age. Sure, it has a dynamic appeal, but it’s also backed by generations of craftsmanship and performance that loyal customers know they can expect from the Swiss watchmaker. Like the marine chronometer from which it was inspired, the Torpilleur is powered by an in-house self-winding UN-118 movement with the same 60-hour power reserve and proprietary silicon anchor escapement. Marine Torpileur is also COSC certified and meets the same exacting standards, allowing it to proudly receive the Ulysse Nardin Certificate of Performance.

The outstanding design is also evident on the dial, where the iconic features of the Marine collection are evident: Roman numeral hour markers and the iconic “1846” emblem with flashing red. While the elegant hands have the recognizable shape of a marine timepiece, they are also redesigned for the marine Torpilleur.

The small seconds at 6 o’clock surrounds the date window, and the 60-hour power reserve indicator is at 12 o’clock. fashion cheap watch
