It’s an Urwerk and you can actually buy it.

Robert Downey Jr aka Iron Man aka Tony Stark is a well-known watch buff, and it seems that niche independent brand Urwerk has been getting a lot of his wrist time lately. The new UR-111C Black Cobra (above), recently unveiled at Baselworld 2019 and one of our picks of the year, has been spotted as the celebrity’s wrist accompaniment of choice at numerous high-wattage events.

Another favourite – and one that actually made it into the Avengers franchise is a version of the UR 105-CT pictured above. Known as the UR 105-CT Iron, it is powered by Urwerk’s famous ‘carousel’ movement with a four-satellite system and ‘wandering hours’ display.
