“Black Cobra,” the latest model in Urwerk’s CC1 series took three years of research and development to perfect the linearly countdown of the hours and minutes without compromising accurate timekeeping.

“Black Cobra,” uses a world first animated dial by a rotating disk displaying the seconds, both digitally and linearly.

The dials of the watch show the hours, minutes and seconds; flip the watch over and you see a more naked version of the hours and minutes laid out like two computer program progress gauges.

The new ‘Black Cobra’ is in a black PVD coated case made from black AlTiN – a complex aluminium titanium alloy, better known as Aluminium Titane Nitride. Inside the watch is an Urwerk made calibre UR-8.02 manually wound mechanical movement.

The Urwerk UR-CC1 Black Cobra watch will be limited to just 25 pieces; see http://www.urwerk.com for more information.
