Summary
- URWERK concludes its “10” series with the UR-10 SpaceMeter Blue

- Limited to 25 pieces, it features a titanium case and a patented Double Flow Turbine movement
URWERK has unveiled the UR‑10 SpaceMeter Blue Final Edition, a limited release that marks the culmination of the brand’s “10” collection.
More than a conventional watch, the UR‑10 is conceived as an instrument of cosmic awareness, linking time to Earth’s rotation and orbit. Its round dial, deceptively classic at first glance, houses three subdials that measure planetary motion: the EARTH counter at 2 o’clock tracks every 10 km of daily rotation, the SUN counter at 4 o’clock records 1,000 km increments of orbital travel, and the ORBIT counter at 9 o’clock synchronizes both trajectories.
The caseback continues this theme with a 24‑hour peripheral hand and engraved pictograms representing Earth’s rotation and revolution, offering a portable celestial map. Technical innovation is equally central: the UR‑10.01 calibre features a patented Double Flow Turbine with counter‑rotating propellers, designed to regulate rotor speed and preserve the self‑winding system. Its sandblasted titanium case measures 45.4 mm across, paired with a glare‑proof sapphire crystal and a finely finished blue dial treated with ADL coating. Syringe‑shaped hands with Super‑LumiNova enhance legibility, while the titanium bracelet secures the piece with a folding clasp.
Limited to just 25 watches, the UR‑10 SpaceMeter Blue Final Edition is priced at 70,000 CHF(approx. $77,000 USD). Beyond its technical prowess, the model pays homage to URWERK co‑founder Felix Baumgartner’s heritage, drawing inspiration from a Gustave Sandoz astronomical clock restored by his father.
