Chegado(s) ao mercado - relógios Raph Tech WRX "T" Millenium


A versão híbrida do Raph Tech WRX "T" Millenium, de uso exclusivo militar

Ocorreu por estes dias na Escola de Mergulho da Marinha Nacional francesa, em Saint-Mandrier, Vars, do lado oposto ao porto de Toulon, a celebração de emissão do milésimo certicicado de Mergulhador de Combate.

Fundada em 1952, a École de Plongée de la Marine Nationale treina a elite das Forças Especiais Francesas para operações submarinas, em nome do Commando Hubert e da DGSE, os serviços secretos gauleses.

A Ralf Tech, fornecedora oficial de relógios das Forças Especiais Francesas desde 2010, e particularmente das unidades de Nageurs de Combat (Mergulhadores de Combate), associou-se ao evento, fazendo sair um novo modelo de relógio, o WRX "T" Millenium Hybrid.

O WRX "T" Millenium, desenvolvido com a ajuda do operativos da Marinha Nacional, é de uso eminentemente militar. A caixa, de 47,5 mm, é de titânio e as inserções na luneta são de Ceramfine® (uma liga de cerâmica  titânio). Antimagnético, o Millenium é estanque até mil metros, testado em condições reais.

O novo Raph Tech vem equipado com um calibre RTH002® (híbrido, mecânico e com orgão regulador de quartzo, mas sem pilha). Tem uma autonomia de 180 dias sem estar a ser usado, um recorde para relógios de quartzo sem bateria. Passa a estar no pulso de todos os operacionais das Forças Especiais Francesas.

Esta versão híbrida é de uso exclusivo militar. O WRX "T" Millenium está disponível para o público em geral através de uma versão com calibre automático, numa edição limitada de 77 exemplares. Em Portugal, a Raph Tech está disponível na rede de retalho Torres Joalheiros.

Da marca:

The WRX « T » Millenium, developed with the help of the operators of the Marine Nationale, is a first for RALF TECH: a case completely made of Titanium. And not any old titanium either… the case is made of Titanium Grade 1 (T35) that has been chosen to accompany the Operators of the French Forces Spéciales. Such material (99.8% pure) offers ideal technical characteristics, starting with an increased resistance and an elevated ductility in extreme conditions. Utilised in the chemical and engineering industries as well as in the production of aircraft because of its optimal deformability, such material offers the best resistance possible to corrosion an d to seawater in a marine environment. Naturally it is used in off-shore environments and by RALF TECH. Its density of 4,51g/cm3 compared with 7,9g/cm3 of stainless steel makes Titanium 40% lighter, consequently making the case of the new WRX lighter. The biocompatibility is also greater than that of stainless steel, providing greater safety and comfort for the skin. The WRX "T" Millenium is hypoallergenic and comfortable to wear. The case of the WRX "T" is also anti-magnetic according to the Standard of the Swiss Watch Industry (NIHS) 90-10. Finally, another feature of this metal is that it develops a unique patina over time on its surface, without any doubt in a few years all of the WRX "T" Millenium will look different from one another which guarantees their owner with complete uniqueness and exclusivity.

The WRX « T » Millenium has a bezel made of the same material as the case, Titanium Grade 1 (T35). It is then combined with a bezel insert made of Ceramfine®, an innovative alloy consisting of 92% titanium grade 4 and 8% ceramic that gives the bezel particularly attractive characteristics. This material is particularly resistant to shocks while keeping a high torsional resistance. A specific superficial treatment protects the surface from fingerprints and a host of external aggressive substances such as solvents, petrochemicals and acids. It therefore is perfectly resistant to fingerprints! Finally, of course, this unidirectional bezel rotates only counter-clockwise against the movement of the hands, that is to prevent accidental shocks to affect or change the accuracy of the measurement of the immersion time.

The WRX « T » Millenium is powered by the latest development of our Hybrid Movement, the RTH002®. Thanks to two latest generation accumulators of energy its possible to store a power reserve of up to 180 days inside the WRX « T » Millenium. This means that the timepiece can continue to work, when fully charged, for 6 months after the last time it was utilised, this constitute a record for a watch without a battery. The WRX « T » Millenium can also be powered by our Automatic Movement, the RTA002®.
