WRB Automatic First Edition Metal Watch WRB 1201

The Watch

French brand Ralf Tech has built an outstanding reputation in the watchmaking world by crafting distinctive timepieces that are reliable, robust, and unmistakably modern. Blending technically accomplished specs with a bold, refined aesthetic, each of its timepieces perfectly embodies the brand's spirited, adventurous DNA - delivering a unique Ralf Tech experience to its wearer. Ocarat is proud to introduce the new WRB First Edition Watch WRB 1201, a more rugged take on its predecessors. A limited edition of just 100 pieces, it's the charming, refined addition that elevates your look while standing by your side with the utmost reliability - through city adventures and extreme ones alike. Built for the athletic man who takes on challenges and pushes every limit, it houses a barrel-shaped case with a 39 mm diameter, perfectly proportioned for any wrist. Crafted in 316L surgical steel with a satin finish, it wears a raw, sporty, modern edge. A notched bezel with a black anodized aluminum insert features minute graduations and a Superluminova triangle. Unidirectional with 120 clicks, it lets you track elapsed time across all kinds of activities. It surrounds a domed sapphire crystal 2.50 mm thick - protecting the dial from shocks and scratches while offering outstanding legibility thanks to its anti-reflective coating. Breaking with watchmaking tradition, a notched crown sits at 4 o'clock. Screw-down, it lets you set the hours and minutes at will. Finally, the numbered, screw-down caseback ensures 20 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

With a matte finish, a round dial underscores the watch's sleek beauty with a refined, understated character. Draped in black, it exudes depth, while beige markers ensure clear time reading and an exquisite look on the wrist. Crafted in 2N18 gold-plated 316L surgical steel, two baton hands and a slender seconds hand sweep smoothly to display hours, minutes, and seconds. The grey bezel is graduated with black lines forming a minutes railroad track. The hours are marked by Arabic numeral indices at 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock and by baton indices for the remaining positions, separated by a second minutes railroad track scaled with white lines. A Superluminova coating in beige is applied to both the hands and indices, ensuring impeccable visibility in low-light conditions and lending a striking vintage feel to the entire watch. The brand signs the dial with its name and logo below 12 o'clock, and notes water resistance, movement type, and "Made in France" at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

The watch is powered by an automatic movement based on the Seiko NH35/NH36. Renowned for its high quality and outstanding performance, it is more precisely the in-house caliber RTA003. Offering a 40-hour power reserve, it features 24 jewels and runs at an oscillation frequency of 3 Hz, or 21,600 vibrations/hour. It reliably drives the hands in any situation, delivering precise and dependable hours, minutes, and seconds display.

The Bracelet

The brand pairs its new watch with two straps for maximum styling versatility. Their deployment clasp features an easy lock system with safety mechanism, keeping the timepiece securely on your wrist while opening and closing effortlessly. Note that the lug width is 22 mm.

The first one, in 316L stainless steel, is built to take on anything - delivering exceptional robustness and unmatched hardness. It features three rows of brushed links with a bold sports design for a great look on the wrist. Comfortable yet sturdy, it's ready for everyday wear and your most extreme adventures alike.

The second bracelet is crafted in silicone and finished in a deep black, lending the watch a bold, understated attitude. It brings a sporty yet refined touch that elevates any outfit while delivering all-day comfort. Flexible and pleasant against the skin, it fits your wrist perfectly and is ready for any occasion.

Water Resistance

With 200 meters of water resistance - or 20 ATM in technical watchmaking terms - this watch is built for recreational diving. It can handle showers, baths, and immersion in the sea or pool during shallow, non-professional dives (including freediving). For professional scuba diving with tanks, our Ocarat watch team has curated a selection of 30 ATM models available in our catalog via an additional search on our site. One final note: never operate the pushers or crown while in contact with water!
