The history of this Romain Jerome Arraw
In 2018, Maison Romain Jerome underwent a strategic metamorphosis under the impetus of its new director and became RJ. This evolution marked the desire to break free from timepieces exclusively linked to historical elements in order to offer a sporty and versatile luxury watch. The Arraw collection was thus born. This powerful chronograph retains the brand’s rebellious DNA, notably through the 4 protective protrusions on its bezel, while establishing itself as a masterful piece for daily wear. This Romain Jerome Arraw reference 1M45C.CCCR.3517.AR perfectly embodies this successful transition. Naval and industrial aesthetics combine perfectly with the demands of contemporary Haute Horlogerie.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Arraw
The imposing 45 mm case is crafted in black ceramic with polished and satin-finished surfaces. This dark armour is accompanied by the famous rubber bumpers, an undeniable visual signature. The dial immediately captivates the eye thanks to its sunburst blue finish, which offers abyssal depth. It is structured around 3 distinct counters for the chronograph and a date aperture positioned at 6 o’clock. Broad rhodium-plated hands coated with luminescent material ensure optimal reading in darkness. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the workings of the calibre RJ-2040. This self-winding mechanical movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and guarantees a 42-hour power reserve. Precision relies on 57 jewels that reduce friction. The watch is fitted with an innovative bracelet combining a structured rubber base with a genuine alligator leather covering. A quick-change system and a ceramic and titanium folding clasp secure the ensemble to the wrist. Water resistance is ensured up to 100 metres.
Why this Romain Jerome watch
As the manufacture has officially ceased its watchmaking activities, acquiring such a piece is now a true quest for enthusiasts.
