Urwerk UR-230 Polaris Watch
Urwerk's watches have traditionally been black, gray, or a muted texture. Which makes the UR-230 Polaris a true break from the norm. Its case is carved from a block of proprietary fiberglass-enhanced ceramic that's more resistant to impacts than ceramic alone. The material's visible fibers also give it a shimmering quality, which stands in contrast with the nearly all-black URWERK caliber UR-7.30 movement. Hermetically sealed inside a strongbox-like container, it powers the three-armed carousel, each holding a rotating block with four hour's numerals, while a skeletonized hand points to the minutes. It's also equipped with an "air brake" designed to modulate the winding power according to the wearer's level of activity. The watch sits on a white Vulcanized rubber strap and is limited to 35 examples.
