The UR-103T Shining T
In the UR103T, the titanium cross has been replaced by a completely redesigned structure in ARCAP, a very stable copper/nickel alloy. The dark ARCAP wraps around the hour satellites in sapphire. This new configuration ensures that the numbers on the hour satellites can only be seen when they are required to tell the time while passing the arc of the minutes.
The actual mechanism for rotating the satellites has been completely modified on the UR103T. With this model the satellites rotate simultaneously behind the scenes in multiple stages, in preparation for their turn to indicate the time. They actually perform a four-beat 480° pirouette. Each satellite turns four 120° turns in the period between leaving the minute arc and arriving again with a new numeral displaying. The orbital satellite complication is over 300 times heavier than traditional hands, a factor that requires absolute precision in the manufacture of its minuscule components, and in assembling, balancing and regulating the complication to obtain an excellent chronometric performance.

The UR-103T Mexican Fireleg
URWERK presents its new UR103T with a steel case treated with AlTiN
- Aluminum Titanium Nitride. AlTiN is a technical coating treatment
originally designed for industry for full slotting and aggressive
machining of stainless steel. An AlTiN coating less than 4 microns
thick has the effect of multiplying the resistance of the underlying
metal to scratches, shocks, oxidation and even acids.
Hardness comparison figures:
- Gold : 380 Vickers
- Steel : 600 Vickers
- AlTiN coat : 3800 Vickers
- Sapphire: 4000 Vickers

In the UR103T, the titanium cross has been replaced by a completely redesigned structure in ARCAP, a very stable copper/nickel alloy. The dark ARCAP wraps around the hour satellites in a protective embrace. This new configuration ensures that the numbers on the hour satellites can only be seen when they are required to tell the time while passing the arc of the minutes.
