RALF TECH WRX HISTORIC Automatic Day 47mm
Before the WRX became an icon of modern RALF TECH, watches like the Automatic Day were already defining what it would become.
The WRX Automatic Day WRX 2001 belongs to an earlier mechanical chapter of the collection — an original, discontinued WRX now preserved by RALF TECH as New Old Stock.
Its imposing 47.5mm satin-finished steel case surrounds a beautifully restrained matte-grey dial, protected beneath an extraordinary 5.9mm curved sapphire crystal.
Inside is the Swiss RTA001 automatic movement, offering up to 44 hours of power reserve, while a protected screw-down crown, professional 120-click diving bezel and screw-down caseback provide a formidable 400 metres / 1,320 feet of water resistance.
A hand-sewn grey alligator strap gives this professional diving instrument an unexpectedly elegant character, with a black silicone strap supplied for more active use.
Only 500 numbered pieces were ever produced.
Why buy it?
Because this is not a modern reinterpretation of an early WRX.
It is the real thing.
An original mechanical RALF TECH from a collection that has long since passed, preserved new and unworn while most surviving examples have inevitably been worn, collected or lost to time.
Five hundred existed originally.
Far fewer can now be found like this.
A rare opportunity to own an untouched piece of the history that helped create the modern WRX.
