Frequently asked questions

Is the REC GTR 02R No. 1 nickel-free?

No. At least one part that touches the skin is steel, usually the caseback or the clasp, and steel carries nickel, so the guide does not list it as nickel-free.

What is the case of the REC GTR 02R No. 1 made of?

The case is forged carbon. That is confirmed against the maker's specification. The caseback is sapphire.

What size is the REC GTR 02R No. 1?

The case is 40 mm across, 14.2 mm thick and 47 mm from lug to lug. It is water resistant to 30 m.

How much does the REC GTR 02R No. 1 cost, and is it available?

It is in production, at a list price of $3,595.
