The URWERK UR-230 Polaris is an exceptional timepiece that pushes the boundaries of both design and engineering. A year after the release of the UR-230 Eagle, this second installment in the 230 series breaks away from the brand’s usual black and gray palette with a radiant, white ceramic case. The URWERK UR-230 Polaris offers a polar perspective carved from a proprietary fiberglass-enhanced ceramic. This bold departure infuses the watch with an entirely new energy. This hybrid ceramic, made from woven sheets of ceramic and fiberglass, is tough and durable, overcoming the limitations of traditional ceramics that are prone to shattering on impact.
Inside the case, the UR-230 Polaris continues URWERK’s signature revolving satellite complication, featuring rotating blocks that display time visually strikingly. A new addition to this version is the shock-absorbing system developed to protect the new UR-7.30 caliber through turbines, ensuring durability even in the face of external shocks. The ceramic case, coupled with a titanium back and Vulcanized rubber strap, provides the watch with strength and flexibility.
This avant-garde timepiece isn’t just a functional marvel but also a masterpiece in design. Its white ceramic is alive, shifting from matte to subtly glowing depending on the angle, offering a dynamic visual experience. With its bold new look and innovative mechanics, the UR-230 Polaris blends futuristic style and durability. Priced at $168,000, it’s a luxury that makes a lasting statement.
