NOT made up. Just not English.

Greek letters: (Greek) ουρα for arctura Latin (f) bear constellation.

Greek letters: αρκτοϛ for arctos. The direct translation is tail, stern, rear.

If you know words or scientific roots, you’ll remember that “ur” is latin for bear. (ursine, etc…)

Arctura is not a real word but a name devised by the Seiko watchmaking company to label one of their time pieces. The word seems to bear a close reference to the Alpha Star in the Constellation Bootes in the northern hemisphere. I guess Seiko is saying that this watch is it’s most alluring timepiece to date. (see references pertaining to Arcturus)
