Urwerk UR-220 SL Asimov
The hour transmitter made of Super-LumiNova lights up Urwerk's latest interpretation of the UR-220. replica Urwerk UR-100
Last year, one of Urwerk's most iconic watches, the UR-210, bid farewell. Fortunately, Urwerk fans did not mourn for long before the next-generation UR-220 Falcon project was realized in September 2020. The UR-220 retains the iconic features of the long-lost UR-210, proving to be a more stylish and slimmer vessel, thanks to its carbon fiber case and new manual winding movement. Although some functions were abandoned, the UR-220 reintegrated the iconic oil change gauge of the earlier Urwerk model. A month later, in the heavier titanium steel all-black version, Urwerk launched the third all-carbon invisible model UR-220, which was luminous enough to illuminate the darkest night: the UR-200 SL Asimov was launched.
Brief background
Urwerk is known for its extraordinary watchmaking methods. Watching URWERK watches means abandoning all the concepts of traditional watchmaking. From the creative way of displaying time under future conditions, designer Martin Frey and watchmaker Felix Bocana are convinced that there must be display time. Since 1995, another way has embarked on their own 21st-Century Watchmaking Odyssey.high quality replica watches
The discontinued UR-201 has always been a favorite of MONOCHROME. This is the true outline of Urwerk's unique watchmaking method. UR-210 combines the brand's satellite hour display and lightning-fast retrograde minute hand, and is also equipped with a winding efficiency meter to calculate the energy consumed and generated. In 2020, Urwerk launched the UR-220. Although initially reluctant to see the iconic UR-210 model rest in peace, the UR-220 was the winner. Although some features, such as the exquisite case and sapphire crystal glass, rotating satellite complication with walking hours and retrograde minutes, are similar to the previous model, many things have changed-for the better.
First, the shell of UR-220 is made of 81 layers of compressed CTP carbon. The super-elastic carbon fiber makes the outer surface of the hand table light and comfortable to wear. The rotating concentric pattern of carbon fiber also highlights the dynamic profile of the case. Another feature of UR-220 is the newly designed power reserve indicator, which is distributed on the two sub-dials located in the upper left and upper right corners of the dial.watches replica
In order to reduce the height of the case, Frei and Baumgartner decided to adopt a new manual winding movement and discard the winding efficiency regulator. However, in a past explosion, they also decided to retrieve the oil change indicator, albeit in a different form.
UR-220 SL Asimov The SL suffix refers to Super-LumiNova, while Asimov refers to the science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, who quoted the light and dark poles of the watch in Nightfall (1941). Like the first UR-220 Falcon Project, the latest version uses an invisible matte black carbon fiber case (diameter 43.8 mm x length 53.6 mm, height 14.8 mm) with a black DLC-treated sapphire crystal back cover. Its complicated shape, the hollow area in the middle of the case, and the crown at 12 o'clock are Urwerk's signs, but it appears tighter in the black carbon fiber case.replica swiss watches
However, the place where things become different is at night. The travel time displayed on the three rotating cubes is not processed with luminous materials as in the past, but is made of luminous materials, to be precise, Super-LumiNova Grade X1 BL. In past versions, the cube was created on Urwerk's CNC machine; the rotating cube on the UR-220 SL Asimov was made of Super-LumiNova. The technical expertise was developed by the Swiss company RC Tritec, which is an expert in phosphorescent pigments. Rather than applying Super-LuminNova to the surface, RC Tritec has developed a method to create precise luminous 3D castings of any desired shape. Due to the higher luminous concentration, these components store light during the day and emit stronger and longer lasting light.
The UR-220 still relies on the hovering time shown on the three rotating pyramidal transmitters and the retrograde minute hand that flies back to zero in less than 0.1 seconds. As mentioned earlier, the power reserve is displayed on two separate meters, three of which are picked out of the blue glowing white light. The meter on the right hand side is the first meter to indicate the demeanor of the mainspring. Once the maximum "red" level is reached, the left indicator will take over. Splitting the power reserve instructions turned out to be a complex task, requiring 83 mechanical parts.luxury replica watches
The oil change gauges originally found on the UR-110 and UR-203 made a comeback and were placed on two adjacent rollers on the bottom cover. To trigger the device, the wearer needs to remove a protective pin (you might use a grenade to do this!) and press a button to display the current operating time (in months). After 39 months (3 years and 3 months), the watch is ready for repair, Urwerk will reset the counter to zero and replace the pins.
Due to the new manual winding movement UR7.20, the height of the UR-220 case has been reduced. Compared with the 17.8 mm height of the self-winding UR-201, the thickness of the UR-220 is 14.8 mm. The movement was developed by Urwerk, has 59 jewels, a frequency of 4Hz, and can store up to 48 hours of power reserve.https://www.cheapestwrist.co
