Additional features include day/night and oil change indicators, a black coated Grade 5 titanium case with Macassar ebony, topped off with a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. The Urwerk is a larger watch measuring 47mm x 51mm x 16mm and is only water-resistant to about 100 feet. If I was going to pay six figures for a watch, I doubt I’d even risk it in the shower.
