The Urwerk UR-102 Reloaded timepiece has been launched as a reissue of the brand's first-ever timepiece from the late-90s to provide wearers with a decidedly sleek and chic option for their collection. The watch is based on the Urwerk UR-102 original from 1998, and comes in uncoated titanium and PVD-coated black titanium/steel finish options. The watch case measures in at 41mm and boasts the crown nestled into it to prioritize a cleaner appearance.
The Urwerk UR-102 Reloaded timepiece is limited to a mere 100 examples of each style with the first 25 of each model being sold together in box sets priced at CHF56,000 (~$60,888). The remaining 75 of each model will be available for purchase individually, but at a later date.
