Urwerk fake is saying goodbye to the UR-220 series with a stunning, street style inspired limited edition.
Well, that’s not to say that the Urwerk UR-220 itself hasn’t caught your eye, but the latest and final edition of this highly collectible avant-garde complication will announce its existence, whether you’re ready or not.
For those unfamiliar, the UR-220 was launched in 2020 as the successor to the UR-210, Urwerk’s much-touted reference model featuring the brand’s famous satellite hour display and large retrograde minute hand mounted on a The clever turbo-regulated automatic movement allows you to customize its winding power according to your wrist activity level. Like its predecessor, the UR-220 uses the famous three-arm satellite time display system, but based on a hand-wound movement, it also features an ‘oil change’ indicator to let you know when the perfect fake watch needs service – a move from the brand’s earlier UR -Resurrected features in the -110 model.
For the first time, the UR-220 features a lightweight yet strong carbon fiber case made of compressed high-strength TPT carbon fiber. The UR-220 81, as it is called, references the 81 layers of TPR carbon used to construct the case, followed by the UR-220 SL Asimov. UR-220 SL Asimov references Super-LumiNova material (SL) and the famous science fiction author Asimov also has a matte carbon case, but its hour display components use top-quality Super-LumiNova molded cubes, and arrow hands Coating and retrograde markings for an attractive sight in the dark.
This year, in its third and final performance, the UR-220 ditched its formerly enigmatic character for some fun and panache. The style appeal of the UR-220 Red Gold is unmistakable, wrapped in shiny red gold and paired with a white textured rubber strap.
Urwerk says it wants to use this Online fake watch to transport us to the 1980s, specifically to warm Florida, on the set of Miami Vice, where the clothing habitat was permanent tans, shoulder pads and exaggerated glitz.
“Gold and white seemed like an unlikely combination, but one that resonated deeply with me and became a happy memory,” Urwerk’s lead designer Martin Frei said of the inspiration for the UR-220 Red Gold when explained. “I remember my super cool hero” as a teenager. They would hunt down criminals in plain baggy suits, Ray-Ban Wayfarer 5022s, hair blowing in the wind, and gold on their wrists. This is truly an iconic image of the 1980s. “
The UR-220 Red Gold is undeniably flashy, but not as tacky as one would expect from a watch designed to evoke the 1980s. Instead, its ostentation is straightforward but restrained, with the gold and white combination providing a strong but supportive backdrop for the real star of the piece, the famous rotating satellite complication and ultra-fast retrograde system.
“UR-220 Red Gold marks the end of a collection full of power and strong character. It features striking, sweeping contrasts – a great way to make a statement and end the series with a sharp bias line, amazing ‘wow’ effect,” says Frey.
