The new EMC TimeHunter features an unprecedented surface finishing: a military beige chronometer teamed with a camouflage canvas strap that earns it the nickname Desert Sage
The EMC Desert Sage – a five-piece edition – is crafted from steel, with a titanium caseback. This hyper-technical “machine” hugs the contours of the ‘motor’ inside and submits to the constraints of its various organs. Its stainless steel ‘hood’ is micro-beadblasted and then given a hard, matt ceramic lacquer-type treatment, offering the timepiece a grainy finish reminiscent of military equipment.
In addition to the main dial with its chequered hand grenade pattern, which displays the hours and minutes, the watch features a small disc-type seconds hand, graduated in five-second increments and located at 1 o’clock. The power-reserve indicator at 7 o’clock provides information on the hand-wound movement offering 80 hours of autonomy.
The chronometric indications are concentrated at 11 o’clock. The rate accuracy is graduated from -15 to +15, using seconds as the measurement unit for the daily rate deviation. The amplitude ranges from 180 to 330, measured in degrees.
At the very heart of the EMC concept lies a hybrid electronic/mechanical system that makes each of these timepieces totally one-of-a-kind. It is an entirely mechanical watch, optimised with the help of an electro-optical circuit. Designed exclusively for the EMC collections, the UR-EMC2 calibre is entirely crafted, finished, assembled and adjusted by URWERK.
