The Urwerk UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ Will Make Any Watch Lover Green With Envy!
Some watches tell time; others tell a story. And then there’s the UR-100V ‘Hunter Green,’ which does both—and more. This is no ordinary timepiece. It’s a symphony of cutting-edge mechanics, bold design, and a colour so unique you’ll need a thesaurus to describe it. Green? Close, but not quite. Grey? Definitely not. It’s ash green—a hue that shifts under the light, whispering sophistication with a metallic edge. With its full-titanium build and minimalist charm, the UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ isn’t just a watch; it’s a statement.
According to Martin Frei, URWERK’s artistic director and co-founder, the UR-100V is the watch equivalent of a Pinterest-worthy blank canvas. "We’re having fun with this collection," he says, "constantly rediscovering it through new expressions. Hunter Green was an obvious choice it’s alive, dynamic, and loves a good spotlight moment."
Meanwhile, Felix Baumgartner, URWERK’s resident genius and co-founder, calls this shade the lovechild of industrial vibes and Mother Nature. “We treated this ash green with the care you’d give to restoring an antique patina,” Baumgartner explains. “The titanium case and bracelet add depth, while the dial creates a mini game of discovery like a treasure hunt, but for your wrist.”
Traditional hands are so last century. The UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ takes time-telling to a whole new level with satellite-style wandering hours. Imagine a tiny, mechanical choreographer orchestrating satellites to dance gracefully across the dial. The hour markers cross an arc to track minutes before vanishing into the void, making way for the next satellite to steal the show. It’s part art, part engineering, and entirely mesmerizing.
The inspiration? A 17th-century clock that URWERK has launched into the space-age. This timepiece isn’t just a watch—it’s a poetic ode to time, space, and craftsmanship that makes you wonder if NASA might want to take notes. But wait, there’s more! The UR-100V doesn’t stop at telling time it also tells you just how far you’ve traveled through space. The first counter tracks the 555 kilometers the Earth spins on its axis every 20 minutes (hold onto your tea). The second? A whopping 35,740 kilometers as the Earth orbits the Sun in the same time frame.
Basically, this watch reminds you that you’re hurtling through the universe at breakneck speed all while looking fabulous in ash green. Who knew existential dread could look this good? The UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ isn’t just another chapter in URWERK’s saga; it’s a plot twist. A harmonious blend of simplicity, sophistication, and sci-fi flair, it’s a timepiece that boldly goes where no watch has gone before. Slap it on your wrist and prepare for liftoff—no space suit required.
