The Urwerk UR-100V Magic T in Hunter Green: A Quietly Urwerk??

I know what you’re thinking: "Looks cool, but can you actually tell the time?" The answer is: yes. And better than you'd expect.

Here’s how it works: a rotating satellite holds the hour numeral and a green arrow. That arrow points to the current minute on the arc-shaped scale along the bottom of the dial. Once the hour is up, the next satellite swings into position and takes over. It’s intuitive after about five minutes of looking at it, and honestly, kind of addictive to watch in motion.

Plus, there are two bonus indicators on the dial. One shows how far Earth has rotated in 20 minutes, and the other shows Earth’s revolution around the Sun in the same period. Are they practical? Not really. But they’re a poetic, nice touch that fits right into the Urwerk branding.

Movement, Rotor, and Other Nerdy Bits

Flipping the watch over, you’re greeted with more of that hunter green - this time on the rotor. It's part of the automatic UR 12.02 movement, based on a Vaucher calibre with Urwerk’s own satellite module sitting on top.

One particularly cool detail? The rotor is fitted with something called a “Windfänger.” It’s a tiny turbine that uses air resistance to slow down the rotor’s spin, regulating the winding and protecting the movement from shock. This is a thoughtful, mechanical solution to a real problem, not just a gimmick.

The finishing on the back is solid too. Perlage, brushed surfaces, engraved text… It’s not flashy, but it’s very Urwerk.

The Bracelet: Surprisingly Chill

You don’t usually hear that, but the bracelet might be one of the best parts of this watch. The short, almost half-sized links make it feel buttery on the wrist, and it’s really adjustable, which is key when you’re dealing with an awkwardly shaped case like this.

The design is intentionally industrial, with sandblasted finishing across the board, but each facet still catches the light just enough to add some life. The clasp is sturdy, and there’s no wobble or cheapness here. For a brand known for dial-side theatrics, it’s refreshing to see this much care given to something as "basic" as a bracelet.

Fit and Feel

This watch wears better than it looks on paper. The endlinks drop sharply from the case, which helps it hug the wrist instead of sitting flat like a plank. But the case shape is weird. The crown sits at 12 o’clock, and that end of the case is built up and shrouded to accommodate it, which means it looks and feels a little off-balance on smaller wrists. So yeah, probably don’t buy this if you have small wrists.

Final Thoughts

Look - €61,500 is not a cheap watch by any measure. You could get a car for that, or a handful of other high-end watches. But if you’re someone who already owns the usual suspects (Rolex, Patek, AP) and you want something truly different - something that feels like it came from the future, but with real mechanical soul - this green Magic T is worth a serious look.

It’s wild, but not overwhelming. It’s complicated, but still legible. And for an Urwerk, it’s... oddly wearable. The green ties the whole thing together in a way that feels grounded and even a bit stylish. In a sea of watches trying to be unique, the UR-100V Magic T in Hunter Green actually is.
