JEWELLERY & WATCHES
The collection is comprised of four models : a rich lacquered green dial in Ralph Lauren ’ s heritage hue , a classic lacquered navy dial , and two lacquered black dials that include a stainless steel trim for a more sophisticated expression and a sportier design with matte hardware for a modern appeal . From casual to elevated strap offerings , the collection is designed to be mixed and matched with either bracelets of timeless stainless steel , subtly textured leather straps with ecru stitching , cotton madras straps inspired by authentic woven shirtings , and a leather strap in three colorways printed with Ralph Lauren ’ s Polo Sport logo inspired by iconic `90s apparel collections . Additionally , there is a black sandblasted stainless steel option that pairs solely with the black lacquered dial and matte hardware to create the ultimate expression of modern sensibility .
In 1972 , Ralph Lauren ’ s signature emblem — capturing the penultimate moment before mallet meets ball during a polo game — took its place on the chest of the Polo shirt , where it became a symbol recognized around the world . Now gracing the dial of this new watch collection , the logo is 3-D printed in multiple layers of color and complemented by printed Luminescent Arabic numbers on a lacquered dial and around the anodized aluminum ring on stainless steel bezel .
SWISS-MADE MOVEMENT
The stainless steel round cases measure 42mm by 12.35mm and include an exhibition case back to make fine details visible — including vertical Côtes de Genève stripes and circular graining , known as perlage . The timepieces are powered by an automatic , Swiss-made , caliber RL200 movement run at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour and features 26 jewels with an approximate 38-hour power reserve .
