UR-111C Black Cobra

Limited Edition of 25 Pieces

Overview

The URWERK UR-111C Black Cobra presents a different approach to time within the URWERK collection. Instead of orbiting satellites, time is displayed across a linear axis, using rotating cylinders and fibre optics to project hours and minutes through horizontal apertures.

Limited to 25 pieces, the Black Cobra focuses on clarity and mechanical reinterpretation, where the complexity sits beneath a restrained and highly legible display.

Case

The case is crafted from titanium and finished with a black DLC coating.

Elongated in form, it sits low across the wrist with a strong horizontal profile. The geometry is defined by sharp transitions and flat surfaces, allowing light to be absorbed rather than reflected. The result is a case that feels controlled and architectural in its execution.

Linear Time Display

The UR-111C replaces the traditional dial with a linear display system.

Hours and minutes are indicated through two horizontal apertures, driven by rotating cylinders. Fibre optic elements guide the light, ensuring legibility while maintaining a fully mechanical construction.

This approach offers a direct and precise reading of time, while remaining consistent with URWERK’s philosophy of alternative display systems.

Interaction

There is no conventional crown.

Instead, two integrated rollers are positioned along the case. One is dedicated to winding the movement, the other to setting the time. This system creates a more tactile interaction, changing how the watch is handled and engaged with on a daily basis.

Movement

The watch is powered by a manually wound URWERK calibre, developed specifically for the linear time display.

The movement translates rotational energy into a horizontal indication, requiring a distinct mechanical architecture. The focus remains on precision, durability, and clarity of display.

Design Intent

The Black Cobra is defined by its linearity.

From the display to the case profile, every element follows a horizontal logic. The black DLC finish reinforces this approach, reducing visual distraction and allowing proportion and engineering to define the watch.

Rarity and Condition

Limited to 25 pieces, the UR-111C Black Cobra was produced in extremely small numbers.

This example has undergone full inspection and regulation by URWERK watchmakers and is presented in excellent condition.

Supplied with:

• Original URWERK box
• New strap
• UR-LEGENDS three-year warranty

Felix Baumgartner, co-founder and master watchmaker of URWERK: “The case is angled, which comes perfectly comfortable to the wrist, so that you can read the watch really nicely.” 

Martin Frei, co-founder and chief designer of URWERK: “The absence of a traditional crown “keeps a smooth feeling on the side of the case and is much more comfortable for the wearer.”
