RALF TECH WRX Electric Supernova Millenium x CNES Titanium47mm
Between the silence of the abyss and the violence of a dying star, RALF TECH found an unusual place to measure time.
Created in collaboration with CNES — the French National Centre for Space Studies — the WRX Supernova Millenium continues a project that has taken RALF TECH from professional diving into an altogether different extreme environment.
For 2026, the inspiration is the supernova: the extraordinary explosion marking the final stages of a massive star.
RALF TECH translates that idea through a black graphic dial influenced by the interfaces of spacecraft cockpits, including the International Space Station. The design deliberately strips away unnecessary detail, putting legibility and immediate reading first while introducing references to constellations, nebulae and the wider cosmos.
Around it sits one of the most technically interesting versions of the WRX case.
Made from Grade 1 T35 aerospace titanium, the familiar 47.5mm architecture has been sculpted and hollowed extensively without changing its dimensions. The result weighs only 96 grams, compared with approximately 200g for the conventional construction.
Yet lightness has not compromised capability.
A 5.9mm curved sapphire crystal, reinforced case structure, ceramic diving bezel, protected screw-down crown and RALF TECH's exclusive encapsulated caseback deliver 1,000 metres / 3,300 feet of water resistance. The watch is designed for extreme temperatures from -120°C to +65°C, intense vibration and forces of up to 8G.
Inside is the RTE001 Long Range Electric Micro Hybrid movement, developed in Switzerland for RALF TECH and capable of up to 100,000 hours — almost twelve years — of autonomy.
It is supplied on the distinctive CNES ballistic-nylon strap, together with a black silicone alternative.
Only 100 pieces will be produced.
Why buy it?
Because this is not simply another space-themed watch.
The collaboration with CNES has actually influenced the engineering: titanium construction, dramatic weight reduction, extreme environmental resistance and a cockpit-inspired dial all serve the same purpose.
And there is something wonderfully RALF TECH about a watch designed around space exploration that still insists on being capable of travelling 1,000 metres beneath the ocean.
From crushing pressure to exploding stars — an instrument designed for places where ordinary specifications cease to be enough.
