With Ralf Tech and the "WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium" through space and time

The French space centre CNES and the Parisian watch brand are continuing their collaboration. After the "WRX Space Millenium" last year, the "WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium" now follows.

The CNES reports to the French Ministry of Defence and Research and is involved in both military and climate observation tasks.

For high highs and low lows

Ralf Tech is known for setting depth records as a supplier to emergency services and commercial diving service providers. Last year, however, the company also looked upwards for the first time. And how could it be otherwise with Ralf Tech? The normal flight altitude was not enough, and so the "WRX Space Mellenium", limited to 100 units, accompanied the French space agency CNES into space.

Now comes the second result of this extraordinary collaboration. The new "WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium" is also limited to 100 units and makes its high-altitude ambitions visually clear:

Constellations, planets, black holes - even the Milky Way itself - are immortalised in an elaborate multi-level design on the dial under the 5.9 millimetre thick, domed and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Luminescent elements made of green Superluminova C5 ensure a luminous view of the wrist universe even in the dark.

"WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium": Robust lightweight

And despite the considerable diameter of 47.5 millimetres, it is pleasantly light. Thanks to grade 1 titanium for the case, the total weight of the watch is reduced from 200 to just 96 grams compared to stainless steel.

The screw-down crown, a new encapsulation system for the case back and the screw-down strap bars guarantee extreme robustness, including water resistance up to 100 bar. As a true diver's watch, the "WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium" is of course certified to ISO 6425 and has a unidirectional rotating bezel. This is equipped with ceramic inlays made from Ceramfine and Superluminova markings.

In addition, it can withstand temperatures between -50 and +50 °C without functional impairment and can withstand extreme shocks and vibrations - tested under zero gravity conditions in March 2024.

RTE001 - Microhybrid plant with record running time

The RTE001 calibre developed especially for the "WRX" is based on micro-hybrid technology with reduced energy consumption. An autonomous lithium battery enables a power reserve of up to 100,000 hours - this corresponds to almost 12 years of operation, significantly longer than conventional automatic or quartz movements.

The advantage: Together with the special seals and the encapsulation technology, in which the base is anchored extremely deeply in the housing, the need for a combined service only arises after ten years. This minimises inconvenient downtimes for professional divers and emergency services.

The French-made "WRX Electric Galaxy Millenium" is supplied with CNES ballistic nylon straps and a black silicone strap.
