Urwerk Explores the “Star Wars” Universe with New UR-100 Gold Edition ?C-3PO?
“May the Fourth be With You” Day might have passed, but this month holds a special significance for Star Wars fans beyond the catch-phrase now associated with May 4. Today, May 25, holds another significance to the Star Wars franchise, being the official anniversary of the release date of Episode IV ? A New Hope which first hit theaters 43 years ago on May 25, 1977. In honor of this, we here at WatchTime thought it would be good to spotlight a very special Star Wars-inspired watch ? this one an attention-grabbing release from Urwerk unveiled earlier this month, the UR-100 Gold Edition, also known by it?s brand-given nickname, ?C-3PO.?
The new watch, similar to the gold-plated protocol droid it?s nicknamed for (pictured above), has a satin-finished case construction in solid gold using the brand?s now familiar UR-100 design ? which itself has drawn comparisons to another Star Wars icon, the Millennium Falcon. The 41-mm case features many faceted edges, with toothed sides on its bottom, left, and ride sides, with asymmetrical lugs hooded and non-hooded on the opposite sides of the case, and a crown unconventionally placed at its top. The timepiece is secured to the wrist via a black leather strap specially produced to fit the unique construction of the top and bottom lugs of the case.
