Urwerk UR-202 Turbine Automatic URWERK unveiled their latest audacious creation, the UR-202. In 2006 Urwerk already amazed with the Urwerk 103 and in 2007 it was the time for the Urwerk 210 to shine.
The new UR-202 is highly dramatic and features besides the patented revolving satellite complication the innovative new winding system regulated by compressed air.
The UR-202 is the world’s first watch with the winding rate regulated by fluid dynamics. As long ago as the 18th century, clockmakers were using air friction to regulate the speed of chiming clocks, and their techniques evolved to become the preferred method of regulating the rate of chimes on minuterepeaters. With the UR-202, URWERK have taken the traditional idea of using air friction and refined it to control the rate of automatic winding.

The UR-202’s twin turbines are coupled with the winding rotor. According to the position of the selector lever, the turbines act as shock absorbers. In normal activity they cushion sharp movements of the rotor. This reduces wear and increases the lifespan of the movement.

The turbine system is totally self-contained within the waterproof case. The air flows from under the turbines and is channeled up past them under a sapphire plate and down through holes leading to a tiny air chamber.

The UR-202 also features URWERK’s patented Revolving Satellite Complication with telescopic minutes hands. The Revolving Satellite Complication displays time using telescopic minutes hands operating through the middle of three orbiting and revolving hours satellites.

The URWERK UR-202 is available in white gold, red gold, black PE-CVD platinum and AlTiN.
Measurements are 45.6mm x 43.5mm x 15mm.
