Arpiem Racematic TGH 2 watch

The ARPIEM RACEMATIC 's case is made of 316L stainless steel, a material with virtually no magnetism, guaranteeing the movement's smooth running, and a low carbon content (less than 0.35%), offering excellent resistance to corrosion and wear.

Water-resistance is guaranteed up to 10 ATM, with a screw-down crown for adjustment. The dial, meanwhile, is inspired by the pressure gauges on cars in the 60s, with its"panda"-shaped sub-dials. The indexes on the main dial are reminiscent of the graduations on an automobile rev counter. The triple-layer dial design gives the ARPIEM an elegant volume, evoking the"sandwich" structure of pre-carbon racing car chassis. The movement is an automatic MIYOTA caliber 9132, with power reserve and mounted on 26 jewels, with a frequency of 28,800 Hz.

The domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance, is made from a synthetic aluminum oxide crystal with the same composition and properties as natural sapphire. Rated 9 on the Mohs scale, it is surpassed in hardness only by diamond. Its domed finish adds a vintage touch to the watch. The anti-reflective coating on the glass features 6 layers, reducing light refraction for perfect legibility of colors and materials. The tachymeter has been revisited on this model: the indexes, usually placed irregularly, are here arranged like on a diver's watch, allowing the speed to be read off every 5 seconds.

Finally, the caseback is fitted with a sapphire crystal, offering a view of the decorated rotor of the automatic movement.
