Many believe time is the ultimate luxury. At RJ,
we think a bit dierently. We believe that there
is no time like the present. For us, the moment
is now and it demands to be harnessed. That
philosophy has shaped the iconic watches
we have produced: watches that blend the
most elemental of raw materials with creative
air, exceptional originality, contemporary
sophistication and Swiss crasmanship.
These founding principles of RJ can be found in
every evocative RJ product. Our inspiration can
come from the depths of space or the deepest
oceans. It can be shaped by the most intense
of graphic novel superheroes or enriched by the
frivolity of a cartoon icon. It is the source of our
ingenuity, the spark that shapes our creative
spirit and the ame behind our passion for true
originality. And it is at the heart of the unique
timepieces that make RJ a Swiss brand that
stands apart from the conventional.
ABOUT RJ
ARRAW watches feature design elements from
the world’s four dierent universes – Air, Space,
Earth and Marine. This year, the collection is
inspired bythe marine universewith everyARRAW
watch possessing anchor-shaped indexes, the
screw on the lugs reminiscent of the screws on a
ship and, on the back of the watch, an engraved
nautilus shell design.
The ARRAW collection is available in two sizes:
42mm and 45mm cases hewn from a range of
materials including titanium, black ceramic or
5N+ red gold. The sleek case is the base for four
iconic bumpers in rubber – a key element of RJ’s
brand DNA – which match composite elements
ornamenting the polished, satin-nished lugs.
A screwed-in crown, push-buons inspired by
pistons from engine room, and gradient-painted
dial act as a frame to the anchor-shaped hands
that are unique to every ARRAW watch.
ARRAW watch dials are also sun-brushed,
galvanized and gradient-painted, before being
coated withtransparent lacquerto provide atruly
magnicent depth of nish. The chronograph’s
galvanic black counters are integrated into the
dial, and are surrounded by circular displays that
complement the satin-nished hands.
The self-winding RJ 2040 chronograph
movement displays a ‘30 minutes’ counter at 9
o’clock, a ‘12 hours’ counter and a date window
at 6 o’clock, and a small seconds counter at 3
o’clock. All ARRAW watches are waterproof to a
depth of 100 meters.
Another hallmark of the ARRAW collection is its
ingenious strap-changing system that allows our
range of interchangeable rubber and alligator
straps to be released with a simple ‘click’ by
pushing simultaneously on the two lug screws.
On the clasp, a release lever allows the strap to
detach from the new deployment buckle which
blends harmoniously with the case. A variety of
straps will be launched with the rst models of
the collection.

Titanium
Titanium is known for its lightness and its
hardness. It is also impervious to corrosion and
bio-inert.
Ceramic
Ceramic has high thermal and mechanical
resistance and is extremely hard. It is also light
and oxidation-resistant.
5N+ red gold
5N+ red gold is redder than traditional red gold.
This alloy has an intense color due to the high
percentage of copper and is oxidation-resistant
due to the presence of platinum.
Rubber
Rubber is elastic, sturdy, provides good insulation
and oers a wealth of possibilities. Among other
uses, EPDM rubber serves to make the case
bumpers, a key element of RJ’s DNA.
MATERIALS
Four criteria, known as the 4 Cs, are used to
grade diamonds: color, clarity, carat weight and
cut.
Color
The color of diamonds varies from white to yellow
or brown. A scale running from D to Z is used to
evaluate the color of each gem, with D standing
for white and Z for yellow or brown. RJ accepts
only colored stones mainly in the F-G range.
Clarity
Each diamond has imperfections and inclusions,
whether or not they are visible to the naked eye
or under a microscope. The clarity of a diamond
thus depends on the number and position of
these imperfections. Diamonds are classied as
IF (Internally Flawless) to I3 (imperfections visible
to the naked eye). RJ selects diamonds in the IF
to VVS1 (very very small inclusions) categories.
Carat weight
The term carat comes from ancient times when
carob seeds were used to weigh diamonds. Over
the centuries, the word has evolved to become
carat and refer to the weight of a diamond.
Today, a carat is equivalent to 0.20 grams.
Cut
To ensure maximum brilliance, each diamond
must be cut in a particular way. The facets must
be aligned and symmetrical. Craing these
facets requires authentic expertise to make each
gem sparkle at its brightest. RJ uses the brilliant
cut (also called « Full cut » or 32/34) as well as the
baguee cut.

ARRAW chronographs are ed with a screw-
lock crown designed to guarantee water
resistance. It is thus essential to screw-lock
the crown securely aer each operation,
which is done by pushing it in and tightening it
simultaneously.
The crown can be used to perform three
dierent adjustments:
• Position 0, screw-locked crown
• Position 1, movement winding
• Position 2, date adjustment
• Position 3, time adjustment

ARRAW chronographs have a mechanical
self-winding movement, meaning they are
automatically wound by wrist movements,
which supply the energy required to ensure the
smooth running of ARRAW chronographs.
It the watch has not been worn for a certain
time, it should be manually wound in order to
ensure it runs properly. Unscrew the crown in
position 1 and give it about 30 turns.
ARRAW chronographs have a 42-hour power
reserve.
WINDING
In order to guarantee the water resistance of ARRAW
chronographs, screw-lock the crown aer each
operation.

It is important not to adjust the date on ARRAW
chronographs between 10pm and 2am, since
the date-change mechanism is in action at
that time. Any handling during this period
could risk damaging the calendar disc and the
movement.
Unscrew the crown, pull it out to position 2and
then adjust the date.

Three indications of measured times arevisible.
When you start your chronograph using pusher
A, the central seconds hand begins running
(1). The 30-minute counter hand (2) shows the
number of minutes timed. The 12-hour counter
hand (3) displays the number of hours timed in
30-minute intervals and for a 12-hour duration.
You mayat any time stop and restartthe timing
using pusher A. To reset the chronograph
hands, simply press pusher B.

The fast strap-change system means it can
be detached in a single click. Simultaneously
press the two lug screws to release the strap.
To detach the buckle, activate the device by

ARRAW chronographs are water-resistant to 100
metres, meaning a depth of 300 feet. The screw-
lock crown ensures optimal water resistance.
It is thus essential to screw the crown back in
perfectly aer any handling.
WATER RESISTANCE
Thanks to the ne workmanship lavished on
your ARRAW chronograph, it is protected from
temperature variations, perspiration, damp, dust
and water. Exposure to extreme conditions may
damage this protection.
It is strongly recommended to check the water-
resistance of your ARRAW chronograph every
two years.
Aer swimming in the sea, it is advisable to rinse
your chronograph.
