In my opinion, the best looking color combination on a watch is red gold case and blue dial. It is very hard to make a bad looking watch with those colors.

However, red gold – especially with a blue dial – does stand out, and it’s usually seen with more formally-styled watches, what colors work in a more casual setting?

Urwerk proposes grey (case) and green (highlights) with the UR˜100V Magic T “Hunter Green” and it works for me. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

From the press release:

Green? Yes, but not quite. Grey? Not exactly. Under the light, this shade tends towards an ash green – sophisticated and subtly metallic. A redefined hue with a discreet elegance, so British!

This unique aesthetic comes to life in the new UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’   edition, a watch that redefines wrist worn allure.

With this state-of-the-art full-titanium variation, URWERK once again magnifies the technical and visual minimalism for which the 100V ‘Magic T’ line is renowned.

From case to bracelet, everything has been carefully designed and crafted to capture the very essence of the color and material.

Signature versatility

“The UR-100V is like a blank canvas providing scope for infinite exploration”, says Martin Frei, Urwerk’s artistic director and co-founder. “We’re having fun with this collection, constantly rediscovering it through new expressions. “Hunter Green” was an obvious choice. It’s a living, breathing color that interacts with light and time.”

Felix Baumgartner, master watchmaker and co-founder of Urwerk, adds: “We worked on this metallic ash green with the same devotion as an antique patina, endowing the timepiece with an aura that is both industrial and organic. We’ve emphasized the depth of the dial and retained the mesmerizing magic of the titanium case and bracelet. Exploring this watch becomes almost a game of discovery through time and space.”

Simplicity and technical sophistication

The UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ edition retains the essence of the 100 collection: perfect harmony between visual minimalism and cutting-edge watchmaking engineering. Martin Frei plays tirelessly with shapes in creating a unique aesthetic language, while Felix Baumgartner reinvents satellite-type wandering hours.

There are no traditional hands here. The hours satellite crosses a graduated arc to indicate the minutes and once its 60 minutes are up, a new satellite bearing the next hour appears, in a poetic and precise mechanical choreography.

Inspired by a 17th-century clock, this watchmaking technology has been propelled into another dimension by Urwerk. The UR-100V Magic T – “Hunter Green” edition is both a tribute to – and a futuristic exploration – of space, volume and time.

A watch connected to space

The UR-100V doesn’t just tell the time, it also features two unique counters:

The first displays the 555 kilometers covered by the Earth over a period of 20 minutes as it rotates on its own axis.

The second shows the 35,740 kilometers travelled by the Earth in 20 minutes as it revolves around the Sun.

The UR-100V ‘Hunter Green’ edition thus transcends its watchmaking function to become a silent witness to the Earth’s trajectory in the sidereal vacuum, offering a color new exploration in Urwerk’s epic and ongoing watchmaking saga.
