Urwerk has not indicated a price point of the commemorative watch. However, prospective customers are able to register for a chance to purchase the item. The new UR-105 will only have three total makes, making it a substantially rare item. The new Urwerk watch features three "[satellite" discs that indicate the hour](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-flying-hours) of the day, the hour discs traverse the center of the watch where the minute tracker is located. The back of the watch hosts [two pneumatic turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur230-polaris), which are in place to wind the mainspring. Next, to the turbines, there is a switch that controls the two turbines. The switch reduces the power of the turbines as the owner sees necessary.
