NWA: something quirky

The finish on the case has to be seen to appreciate. Cold futuristic and at the same time organic and pearly.

The lume is also bright and colorful. This will be my summer watch of this year

So cool! I recently tried on this exact model on the bracelet and I was surprised by how awesome it feels, looks, and wears. Nicely done

Complete agreement here. The profile is thin and the small links of the bracelet make it very flexible and comfortable on the wrist.

It's a really cool piece....just keep an eye on the pvd coating mine is coming off on the inside of the bracelet and I really don't wear it often.

PVD? I thought this was bead blasted?

Thank you! I have been enjoying it as it is so light and fit the wrist very well so it will be a very good hot weather watch.

Let's hope I have better luck since this finish is not coated but micro blasted. But time will tell.

Not a fan of the coating but the watch itself is a stunner.

Sooooo.. I'll be the dodo. What kind of watch is it? It's really cool and I'd love to more about it.

10 years ago I wouldn't have asked this question out of insecurity. I would have worried that any one worth their salt in watches should know all about this watch and I would seem daft by comparison to most.

Turned 50 and gradually either lost my insecurity or suddenly learned not to give a fu$!.

congrats. Love the look and uniqueness of Urwerk watches.

High end independent watches are typically pretty great pieces in general, I'm a big fan of many of them, including Urwerk.

The very best iteration of the 100 in my opinion. Congrats.

I love the idea of an Urwerk on a bracelet.

I do agree that this is one of the best iterations. More understated and the bracelet changed the look completely.

Definitely a grail for me. Eventually I will pair down to two watches. This will be one of them. Nice purchase.

If you are going for one dress and one daily sporty collection. This is definitely going to fill the slot for the sporty casual. If your life style does not involve water sports, this will work perfectly. It is very comfortable and since it is in titanium, I don’t need to baby it.

It is also surprisingly accurate. I think I am off by no more than one minute per 10 days. The Zenith Elite based movement probably helps.

Hello Dodo,

I'll go you a couple better. At first I thought the watch looked like a DWISS M3W. Dodo me.
2nd, I thought maybe the watch was being represented by NWA, a hip-hop group out of Compton, or maybe the National Wrestling Association..... can't get more dodo than that.

By the way. absolutely fantastic watch!

I could really vibe for a watch that says "Straight Out of Compton" instead of "Swiss Made".
