What to know

The UR-100V LightSpeed Ceramic combines Urwerk’s wandering hours with a scale showing how long sunlight takes to reach the planets. A moving indicator travels beneath the open structure, adding an astronomical reference to the familiar satellite display. White composite material gives the angular case a different presence from earlier dark executions.

The automatic UR 12.02 provides a 48-hour reserve and is visible through a titanium caseback. The case measures 43mm across, 51.73mm long and 14.55mm thick, with 50-metre water resistance. Introduced in February 2026, this version uses the LightSpeed idea established earlier, with black and white rubber straps offered alongside the pale case.
