The patented orbital satellite complication, indicating the time through orbiting hour satellites, is the iconic hallmark of the brand. This complication, also found on the previous models such as the UR-103, has been upgraded with the adjustable telescopic minute hands and enhanced by bold SuperLumiNova hour satellites providing excellent visibility day and night.

The other cutting-edge creation by URWERK is the world's first wristwatch housing an automatic winding system regulated by twin turbines acting as air compressors. The spinning turbines are coupled with the winding rotor and act as shock absorbers.
