Catalogue Note

With a Urwerk certificate, instruction manual and presentation box. 

Urwerk presents its new UR103T with a steel case treated with AlTiN - Aluminum,Titanium and 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.
