Ralf Tech WRX Rockdust Limited Edition

All about the Ralf Tech WRX Rockdust Limited Edition

The new WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST – timekeepers between ocean and cosmos

RALF TECH remains true to its tradition and presents two extraordinary wristwatches, the new WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST, inspired by the unexplored depths of the oceans to the vastness of outer space. These models were developed in collaboration with the Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) and build on the insights of the WRX Space Millennium introduced in 2024. They combine the proven shape of the WRX Electric with state-of-the-art technology and a new, unique design.

Innovative design and uncompromising robustness

The WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST impress with their sandblasted cases made of 316L surgical steel, which not only provide a distinctive look but also guarantee extreme durability. The dial with its micro-textured surface resembles cosmic surfaces – deep black for the STARDUST, chocolate brown for the ROCKDUST. The two-layer sandwich construction ensures excellent readability, both in daylight and in dark environments.

"Heart of Technology: The RTE001 Micro-Hybrid Plant"

Inside these exclusive timepieces, the RTE001 micro-hybrid movement developed in Switzerland operates. This innovative technology combines the precision of a quartz movement with the robustness of mechanical components and achieves an impressive autonomy of up to 100,000 hours – equivalent to nearly 12 years of runtime. This far surpasses conventional movements and makes the WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST ideal companions for extreme missions, whether on Earth or in space.

Extremely resilient for any challenge

These timepieces are not only stylish accessories but were specifically designed for use under extreme conditions. Their 47.5 mm case provides, along with a 5.9 mm thick, curved sapphire crystal, unparalleled resistance to shocks, scratches, and pressure conditions. The unidirectional ceramic bezel with 120 clicks meets the ISO 6425 standard and ensures precise diving settings.

Furthermore, the watches are water-resistant up to 1000 meters (3300 feet), making them a reliable companion even during the deepest dives. With a temperature resistance of -50°C to +55°C, they withstand extreme environmental conditions, while their innovative encapsulation system ensures long-lasting water resistance – a service is only required after 10 years.

Exclusive equipment and limited edition

Each watch features a dial with green glowing SuperLuminova® C5 indices, a screw-down crown, and a case back engraving with an individual serial number. The Ceramfine® bezel with luminescent marker emphasizes high functionality and makes reading underwater easier. The design is complemented by a high-quality anthracite calfskin strap, which is additionally equipped with a silicone-coated inner lining. Thanks to a strap width of 26 mm and a solid 26 mm pin buckle, the watch sits securely on the wrist.

The WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST are produced in a limited edition of only 100 pieces and are therefore exclusive collector's items for discerning watch enthusiasts. Each individual watch is made in France and represents a perfect combination of aesthetic excellence and technical innovation.
