Last year, one of Urwerk’s most monumental watches, the UR-210, say goodbye. Luckily, Urwerk fans weren't in feelings of loss for long before the next-generation UR-220 Falcon Project materialised in Oct 2020. Retaining hallmark features of the dearly departed UR-210, the UR-220 proved to be a sleeker and slimmer vessel thanks to its carbon case and new manual-winding movement. Although some functions were abandoned, the Urwerk UR-220 SL Asimov reincorporated the signature Oil Change gauge of earlier Urwerk models. Revisited a month later in a heavier titanium as well as steel all-black version, Urwerk presents the third UR-220 in full and also carbon stealth model with enough luminescence to light up the darkest nights: introducing the Urwerk UR-220 SL Asimov.
Urwerk is famous for it is out-of-this-world approach to watchmaking. Looking at URWERK’S watches means casting aside all concepts associated with conventional the making of watch. From the futuristic cases to the creative ways of displaying time, designer Martin Frei and also master watchmaker Felix Baumgartner were convinced there had to be another way regarding presenting time and, since 1995, embarked on their 21st-century horological industry odyssey.
The defunct UR-201 was an all-time favourite at GRAYSCALE, a true bref of Urwerk’s unique method of watchmaking. Combining the brand’s satellite hour display with a lightning-fast retrograde minutes hand, the UR-210 was also equipped with the winding efficiency gauge to calculate the energy consumed along with energy generated. In 2020, Urwerk launched the UR-220. Despite initial reticence to choose the iconic UR-210 model laid to rest, the actual UR-220 is a winner. Although certain features, like the elaborately shaped situation and sky-blue crystal, the particular revolving satellite complication with wandering hours and the retrograde minutes act like the former product, many things have changed – for the better.
For starters, the case of the Urwerk UR-220 SL Asimov is made from 82 layers involving compressed CTP carbon compacted. The hyper-resilient carbon fibre makes the watch exceptionally lightweight and cozy to wear. The actual swirling concentric patterns from the carbon additionally highlight typically the dynamic contours of the case. Another feature in the UR-220 is the newly designed power reserve indicator spread across two sub-dials placed in the upper left and right-hand corners on the dial.
To reduce the height of the case, Frei in addition to Baumgartner decided to incorporate a brand new manual-winding motion and discard the winding-efficiency regulator. However , in a blast from the past, they also chose to retrieve often the Oil Modify indicator, albeit in a different guise.
The particular SL suffix refers to Super-LumiNova, and the Asimov refers to sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov as their quote from Nightfall (1941) captures the light and dark polarities with the watch. Like the first UR-220 Falcon Project, the latest interpretation comes in any stealth matte black as well as case (43. 8mm height x 53. 6mm length and 14. 8mm height) with a black DLC-treated caseback with blue crystal. Its complex shape, hollowed-out areas of the case middle and overhead at 12 o’clock are hallmark Urwerk but seem tauter plus tighter in the black h2o and case.
Where things get different, though, is at night. The walking hours, indicated on three rotating cubes, are not treated with luminescent material as in the past but literally made from fluorescent material, to be precise Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL. In past models, the dé were created on Urwerk’s CNC machines; the turning cubes on the UR-220 SL Asimov tend to be moulded through Super-LumiNova. Typically the technical expertise was developed by the Swiss company RC Tritec, a specialist in phosphorescent pigments. Instead of applying Super-LuminNova towards the surface, REMOTE CONTROLLED Tritec has developed a method to create precise luminous 3D castings in any desired shape. With a much higher concentration of luminescence, the parts store light during daylight hours and emit a more intense and longer-lasting glow.
Often the Urwerk UR-220 SL Asimov still relies on wandering hrs displayed within the three moving pyramid-shaped transporters and the retrograde minutes hands that insects back to the exact zero position in less than 0. 1 of a second. As mentioned, the power reserve is pointed out on 2 separate gauges with 3 lines picked out in white lume giving off a blue glow. The exact right-hand gauge is the first to indicate the very mainspring degree of wind. Once it has reached the maximum ‘red’ level, the main left-hand indicator takes over. Dividing the power book indication turned out to be a complex task, requiring 83 mechanical components.

The Oil Change measure originally that comes with the UR-110 and even UR-203 really makes a comeback and is placed on a couple of adjacent rollers on the caseback. To trigger the device, the patient removes some sort of protective pin number (something you might do having a hand grenade! ) together with presses a new pusher that displays the active running time in months. After 39 months (3 years and 3 months), the watch is ready to be serviced, and Urwerk will reset the actual counter in order to zero as well as replace the code.
Thanks to the particular incorporation of your new manual-winding calibre UR7. 20, the case height belonging to the UR-220 is reduced. Compared to the 17. 8mm height within the self-winding UR-201, the UR-220 is fourteen. 8mm thick. Produced by Urwerk, typically the movement has 59 jewelry, a 4Hz frequency and can store up to 48 several hours of reserve of power.
