Urwerk 103 Blackbird

Posted on June 29, 2006 Under Gadgetry

Urwerk, one of Geneva's finest watch makers presents the sensational 103 Blackbird, an evolution from their signature UR-103. It’s very limited edition with only 10 pieces made. It draws its design influence from deep space, powerful rockets, and sleek jets– and a quick glance at Lockheed's SR-71 Blackbird leaves no doubt regarding the inspiration behind this incredible watch. The streamlined platinum case is cloaked in an exotic black PE-CVD or Plasma Enhanced-Chemical Vapor Deposition coat that boasts an extremely high scratch resistance. The watch's Orbital Cross carries four Satellites which rotate lining up the hour marker with the minute marker at the base of the display. Although, no pricing information was available I'm guessing it may be a little out of the average consumers league, but that doesn't mean we can't stare in amazement at this beautifully crafted technological timepiece!
