{"product_id":"racematic-tjl-3-jacques-laffite","title":"Racematic TJL 3 \"Jacques Laffite\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE ARPIEM RACEMATIC CASE\u003c\/strong\u003e is made of 316L stainless steel. Its characteristics include a near-total absence of magnetism, which therefore does not interfere with the movement's operation, and a very low carbon content (less than 0.35%) which makes it particularly resistant to corrosion and wear. A water resistance of 10 ATM is provided, with a screw-down adjustment crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WATCH\u003c\/strong\u003e is assembled in France, in Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDLC BEZEL COATING:\u003c\/strong\u003e The DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating is a material combining the structure of graphite carbon with that of diamond, along with a variable amount of hydrogen deposited under vacuum in thin layers. Its name refers to the qualities of diamond found in DLC: wear resistance, durability, and a low coefficient of friction. Thanks to these qualities, it is found in the design of drilling tools, engines, the optical industry, and, of course, watchmaking. The DLC treatment of the TJL3's bezel offers it shock and wear resistance far superior to that which would have been obtained with a classic PVD coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE DIAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e the shape of the sub-dials (the \"pandas\") is inspired by the gauges of 1960s cars. The indices on the main dial represent the graduations of a tachometer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE TRIPLE-LAYER DIAL DESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e gives the ARPIEM an elegant volume, which also recalls the \"sandwich\" alloy construction of race car chassis before the advent of carbon fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE MOVEMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e automatic MIYOTA caliber 9132 with power reserve. Mounted on 26 jewels. Frequency = 28,800 vph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE DOMED SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is the highest quality crystal available on the market. It is actually an aluminum oxide crystal and not glass. Although it is produced synthetically on an industrial scale, it has the same chemical composition and physical properties as natural sapphire. Its main virtue is its scratch resistance. On the MOHS scale, graded from 1 to 10, which evaluates the hardness of minerals, it is rated at 9; only diamond is harder, rated at 10. Most minerals that make up our everyday objects are between 4 and 7 on this scale. Its domed finish gives the watch its \"vintage\" look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANTI-REFLECTIVE TREATMENT:\u003c\/strong\u003e The crystal is treated with 6 layers of anti-reflective coating intended to limit light refraction on the sapphire crystal for perfect perception of colors and materials (the greater the number of layers applied, the lower the light refraction).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE TACHYMETER:\u003c\/strong\u003e this has been reimagined. Indices are usually arranged irregularly on the bezel. On the ARPIEM, they are placed in the style of diving watches, with the speed given for each 5-second index on the dial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCASE BACK:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is equipped with a sapphire crystal revealing the rotor of the automatic movement, decorated with Jacques Laffite's helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARPIEM WATCHES","offers":[{"title":"ESTORIL Putty Leather","offer_id":53691965636949,"sku":"BUNDLE-TJL3-ESTO-MASTIC","price":639.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"KYALAMI Havana Leather","offer_id":53691965669717,"sku":"BUNDLE-TJL3-KY-HAVANE","price":639.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"MUGELLO Stainless Steel Mesh","offer_id":54887411417429,"sku":"BUNDLE-TJL3-MUGELLO","price":639.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"KYALAMI Honey Leather","offer_id":54887411450197,"sku":"BUNDLE-TJL3-KY-MIEL","price":639.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/7018\/8373\/files\/TJL3ESTORILMASTIC800X800.png?v=1776260093","url":"https:\/\/arpiem.fr\/en\/products\/racematic-tjl-3-jacques-laffite","provider":"ARPIEM WATCHES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
