Felix Baumgartner and Martin Frei have just released a new Urwerk watch – the Urwerk UR-110 ZrN Torpedo, also known as “Champagne Supernova“. The watch is a limited edition and rather special. Nothing surprising in the name Urwerk UR-110, but the ZrN part definitely means something unusual, such as Zirconium Nitride, which is used in case coating along with titanium. Thanks to its toughness it makes this Urwerk watch durable, high-tech and scratch resistant.

The initial version of the piece was solely in titanium and it looked good but a bit unfinished. The Urwerk UR-110 ZrN Torpedo has other special features, it’s the extraordinary dial. It’s contains some red and electric green elements, though on the whole it looks more like a champagne sparkle, which is why it carries its lofty second name – Champagne Supernova. Dial indications look also extraordinary and are simply irresistible and eye-catching.

The most valued part of the Urwerk UR-110 is the heart of its mechanism. The watch has satellite complication with rotating hour/minute modules, while each of them is made to indicate the time. The image of the dial is so active that a simple glance could lead to a serious loss of productivity as the wearer dips into its dynamics. Speaking of the Urwerk UR-110 functions, it’s worth mentioning the smart rotary satellite complication with hour and minute indications set on planetary gears.
The Urwerk UR-110 ZrN Torpedo is strictly limited to 12 pieces and can be found only at four locations around the world, which are brand’s exclusive retailers for $135,00 USD.
