Ralf Tech WRX Rockdust Limited Edition

The new WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST – Timepieces between Ocean and Cosmos

RALF TECH remains true to its tradition and presents the new WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST, two exceptional wristwatches inspired by the unexplored depths of the oceans and the vastness of space. These models were developed in collaboration with the Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) and build on the insights gained from the WRX Space Millennium introduced in 2024. They combine the proven form 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 striking appearance but also guarantee extreme durability. The dial, with its micro-grained structure, is reminiscent of cosmic surfaces – deep black for the STARDUST, chocolate brown for the ROCKDUST. The two-layer sandwich construction ensures excellent legibility, both in daylight and in dark environments.

Heart of the Technology: The RTE001 Micro-Hybrid Movement

Inside these exclusive timepieces works the Swiss-developed RTE001 micro-hybrid movement. 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 – which corresponds to almost 12 years of running time. This far surpasses conventional movements, making the WRX STARDUST and ROCKDUST ideal companions for extreme missions, whether on Earth or in space.

Extremely Robust for Every Challenge

These timepieces are not just stylish accessories; they were specifically designed for use in extreme conditions. Their 47.5 mm case, together with a 5.9 mm thick, curved sapphire crystal, offers unparalleled resistance to shocks, scratches, and pressure. The unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel with 120 clicks meets the ISO 6425 standard and ensures precise dive 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 from -50°C to +55°C, they defy extreme environmental conditions, while their innovative encapsulation system ensures long-lasting water resistance – service is only required after 10 years.

Exclusive Features and Limited Edition

Each watch features a dial with green luminous SuperLuminova® C5 indices, a screwed-down crown, and a case back engraving with an individual serial number. The Ceramfine® bezel with a luminescent marker emphasizes its high functionality and facilitates readability underwater. The design is complemented by a high-quality anthracite calfskin strap, which is also equipped with a silicone-coated inner lining. Thanks to a lug width of 26 mm and a massive 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, making them exclusive collector's items for discerning watch enthusiasts. Each individual watch is manufactured in France and represents a perfect combination of aesthetic excellence and technical innovation.
