A Bold Step Toward Tradition
Urwerk, known for its sci-fi-inspired timepieces, has often faced criticism for designs too avant-garde for daily wear. The 2025 release of the UR-100V Magic T “Hunter Green” challenges this perception, blending the brand’s signature futuristic flair with a surprisingly traditional aesthetic. Featuring a titanium case and bracelet paired with dark green accents, this watch bridges the gap between Urwerk’s radical roots and mainstream luxury appeal.
The Evolution of the UR-100V Magic T
Building on the 2023 UR-100V Magic T, the “Hunter Green” edition swaps the original gray tones for ash green, replacing red accents with vibrant lime-green highlights. While the update may seem subtle, it marks a shift toward accessibility. The integrated titanium bracelet and familiar colorway soften Urwerk’s spaceship-like case design, making it one of the brand’s most wearable creations.
Technical Specifications
The 41mm titanium case (14mm thick) retains Urwerk’s iconic domed sapphire crystal, showcasing its satellite display. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the watch includes a 12 o’clock crown and exhibition caseback. The sandblasted finish on both case and bracelet ensures durability while maintaining a sleek, modern look.
A Movement with a Cosmic Twist
Powered by the automatic Caliber UR 12.02, the watch features a green-finished movement and satellite system. Beyond hours and minutes, it tracks Earth’s rotation (555 km/20 minutes) and orbit around the sun (35,740 km/20 minutes). Though functionally whimsical, these elements amplify its sci-fi charm.
A Watch for the Modern Collector
Priced at $66,000 and limited to 35 pieces, the “Hunter Green” model targets collectors seeking Urwerk’s innovation without overwhelming boldness. It echoes classics like the Royal Oak or Nautilus but retains Urwerk’s avant-garde DNA.
Final Thoughts
Urwerk proves it can balance tradition and futurism. The UR-100V Magic T “Hunter Green” offers a gateway for skeptics while satisfying loyalists craving subtlety. It’s not the brand’s wildest creation, but its restrained approach could redefine Urwerk’s appeal in the luxury market.
