# Blue Satellite Watches URWERK's UR-120 Blue Planet is the Final Release in the Ur-120 Series By Amy Duong | Published 2026-06-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur120-blue-planet References: [urwerk](http://urwerk.com/collections/ur-satellite/ur-120)  [UR-120 Blue Planet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urwerk-ur120-blue-planet) is the third and final iteration of the UR-120 from Swiss watchmaker [URWERK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ur10-spacemeter-blue). The limited-edition model pairs a deep blue sandblasted steel case with the brand's signature [satellite-hour display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantomx). Measuring 47 millimetres wide, 44 millimetres long and 15.8 millimetres thick, the watch uses a two-part case designed by artistic director Martin Frei. Articulated lugs extend from the smooth upper shell, while a concealed spring integrated into the lower lug improves wrist fit. A domed anti-reflective sapphire crystal exposes the movement and display architecture beneath. The self-winding Calibre UR-20.01 powers a rotating carousel carrying three hour satellites that travel around an analogue minute scale. As each satellite reaches the left side of the display, it separates into a V-shaped configuration known as the Vulcan salute complication. Lyre-shaped springs and Maltese crosses coordinate the movement, with 175 components dedicated to the carousel assembly alone.
