This is all well and good (and we already know these things); however, the question still remains: Why a fifth version already? The answer lies in the fact this is not just another UR 100. The UR 100V Iron is equipped with a new calibre, the self-winding UR 12.02.
This new movement brings the aperture of the hour hand closer to the scale of the minute. It was simply intended to make reading time more intuitive.
Felix says, "I think you'll see that when you compare the first editions [of the Rolex Sea-Dweller Replica] and the V you will notice the shift of the hour numbers to the left [of the system] to be closer to the minute [scale]. The carousel evolved as we switched the side to show the hours.
When we began work on the Rolex Sea-Dweller Replica, we wanted to emphasize the satellite mechanism. We designed the sapphire crystal to be large and to allow you to check the hours in the middle and then move out to the minutes. We realized that reading the hour would be easier if it was moved away from the middle. This is what we have expressed in the UR100V, our latest edition. This is an evolution of the UR 100 after we have produced 100 pieces in the first four versions. This fifth version was also our way to make sure this would be new and unique, in a sense, compared with the previous ones,swiss replica watches that would also be significant."
