Urwerk 110 Watch UR-110 PT

 

Urwerk UR-220 "Project Falcon"

A classic display type in stylish new packaging.replica Urwerk 110

Over the summer, the watchmaking duo of Martin Frei and Felix Baumgartner presented the final version of the Urwerk UR-210 watch, a classic in contemporary independent watch design that has become my most associated reference since its launch in 2012 . with their company. Recently, they announced the successor to the UR-210 in the form of the new UR-220, codenamed "Project Falcon". In addition to its cool looks, the UR-220 introduces some new features, including the return of other features, and provides a glimpse into the next chapter in the UR-200 series.

In terms of materials, the UR-220 case features 81 layers of ultra-thin, high-resistance 150-gram CTP carbon, compressed into a hard resin. The fact that it consists of multiple layers is obvious if you look closely at the sloping top of the case. (CTP stands for Carbon Thin Ply; we've seen this material used in the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater as well). The UR-220 strap is made of rubber, a first for Urwerk. But it's not just any rubber strap. For the first rubber strap, Urwerk used what it calls the Vulcarboné process, which Urwerk says gives it a velvety touch.high quality replica watches

Most obviously, the UR-220 uses the familiar planetary or wandering time system. Unlike the UR-210 model, however, the movement here is hand-wound rather than self-winding.

Most of us tend to associate this iconic three-arm display with the Urwerk. Hours are displayed on three blocks attached to three arms. The display section includes a 120-degree arc along which the arm passes, picking up retrograde minutes, and as they go, they snap back to the hours. The display looks a little complicated at first, but it's actually quite intuitive. It's also very sharp, thanks to the high contrast between the green numerals and minute track and the carousel's black structure.mens replica watch

Each swivel arm has a block with numbers corresponding to the hours on its four sides. I should say that the only other dial side display is the power reserve indicator or indicator. There are two of them, located in the upper-left and upper-right corners of the display. Each of them tracks a continuous 24-hour cycle, so when the first is filled or emptied, the second takes over for a total power reserve of 48 hours. Splitting the power reserve between the two monitors is no easy task: it requires about 83 additional parts.

On the back of the UR-220 we see the return of the oil change indicator, a display long seen in Urwerk's UR-110 model. Under the guise of the UR-220, this indicator has received some improvements. When the owner has a new UR-220, he or she will notice the pins on the back of the watch. Pulling the pin will cause the oil change indicator to start counting the months in which the watch is active. After 39 months, the UR-220 should be sent for repair, after which the watchmakers at Urwerk reset the hands to zero and reinstall the pins, repeating the process.replica Grand Seiko Heritage

Looking at the UR-220, one can see that it is very similar to the recently retired UR-210. The CTP carbon fiber case - Urwerk's first of its kind - uses a hand-wound movement and a titanium caseback, making the UR-220 a lightweight watch that is relatively stylish by Urwerk standards watch. The new shell material also gives the UR-220 a wonderfully textured look. I thought it was a great look, but I was surprised that Urwerk hadn't made a carbon fiber shell before, so I reconfirmed this with the company's US office. The rubber strap has a great textured/layered look that goes well with the case and is another surprising first.

But to me, the oil change indicator with removable pin is probably the coolest element in the new UR-220. Thoughtful creations like this, can be found throughout Urwerk's watches, and I think it's most appealing to our "teenage brain", the part of us who would happily build a Rube Goldberg machine to entertain or fascinate.Breitling SUPEROCEAN replica watches

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A

 The History of the replica Patek Philippe Nautilus Part 2. 5711/1A Since the 3700 was discontinued in 1990, the Nautilus line has not had a large and simple model. The medium-sized model 3800 was introduced in 1981, but between 90 and 2006 there were no giant steel watches in the collection. This was rectified in 2006 when Patek Philippe released the 5711/1A to coincide with the Nautilus' 30th anniversary. The 5711 remains generally the same as the original Big Mac, but there are some notable differences. The 5711 gained a seconds hand and the dial is a graduated almost electric blue hue, rather than the dark blue/black of its predecessor. It’s also been slightly “bigger” to suit modern tastes, and the case is no longer a one-piece, but a three-part construction. Other upgrades include luminova, a tri-fold on the 3700 blade, and a larger crown to match the thicker case and lugs. fake watches for sale There is no doubt that the 5711 is a beautiful watch.
