replica Urwerk UR-100V Lightspeed
New Product Release: Urwerk UR-100V LightSpeed' Watch
A leader in esoteric watches, Urwerk is back with another mind-bending timepiece that plays on some of its co-founder’s favorite concepts – time, space and light. The new Urwerk UR-100V “LightSpeed” watch takes the brand’s flagship roaming hour satellite display model and injects it with an interstellar inspiration that will attract the attention of science fiction enthusiasts. Ever wonder how long it takes for the sun's rays to reach each planet? Well, now there's a watch that does just that.
Previous UR-100 luxury replica Watches typically displayed the distance the Earth traveled around its equatorial axis and around the Sun in 20 minutes. However, with the new UR-100V “LightSpeed” watch, Urwerk chose to visually represent the time it takes for sunlight to reach the planets in our solar system. Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second (in a vacuum), so sunlight takes more than 8 minutes to reach Earth. Instead, light reaches other planets at different times, depending on their position relative to the sun.
All this data is engraved on the top of the watch’s dial, which the brand calls a 3D planetarium, while slowly moving green and blue LightSpeed hands pass through holes to visually represent the light traveling to the eight planets. The hand is connected to the central dial and completes a complete circle around the dial in three hours. Therefore, starting from the position of the Sun, the LightSpeed hand will reach Mercury in 3.2 minutes, Venus in 6 minutes, Earth in 8.3 minutes, Mars in 12.6 minutes, Jupiter in 43.2 minutes, and Jupiter in 79.3 minutes. Saturn. After Saturn, the hand will disappear from view until it reappears on its way to Uranus in 159.6 minutes, and finally, there is one final trek to Neptune in 4.1 hours. Is this a useful complication on a watch? No, of course not. But Urwerk has never fallen into the burden of offering only practicality; whimsy, fantasy and creativity are the brand's strengths. replica Grand Seiko Heritage 62GS Watches
However, when you come back to reality after contemplating light traveling through the universe, the UR-100V “LightSpeed” also does the practical job of telling time, albeit in an unconventional way. Like other UR-100V models, the LightSpeed version features a three-arm carousel that moves three satellites along a 60-minute arc scale; large Arabic numerals indicate the hours and a red arrow indicates the minutes. When the performing satellite reaches its final destination on the main stage, it disappears under the hollowed-out center dome to make way for the new satellite, completing its 60-minute journey across the arc. In traditional Urwerk fashion, it's quite a show in the photos. replica mens watches
Housing the light and time indicators is a 54-layer ThinPly black carbon case that measures 43mm wide, 51.73mm long, and 14.55mm thick. The tall dial is covered by a similarly shaped flat-domed sapphire crystal that creates a silhouette that I can only describe as an inverted pie plate. While the winding crown is located at the customary 12 o'clock position, the novelty of the LightSpeed is that the crown is screw-down. As a result, the water resistance has been increased to 50 meters, while the previous UR-100 watch was only water-resistant to 30 meters. The case is paired with a red textured rubber strap with a folding clasp.
The sandblasted and sandblasted DLC titanium case back also features a sapphire crystal, which reveals a prominent black PVD-treated aluminum oscillating weight, designed to echo the rays of the sun. The oscillating weight is equipped with a propeller-shaped Windfänger propeller with adjustable winding rate to minimize wear and belongs to the Caliber UR 12.02 automatic movement. The movement operates at 28,800 times per hour, giving the watch a 48-hour power reserve.
