RJ.T.CH.SP.002.01) and Steampunk Red Chrono ( Ref. RJ.T.CH.SP.003.01). Each version of the watch is released in a limited number of 2012 items.

The bezel of the novelties are made of stainless steel from the body of the deceased liner with a stabilized with rust, which covered by "paws" in the form of four rims from stainless steel with black PVD-coated, or 18-carat red gold. Lugs of the case, crown and chronograph pushers are also made from these materials.
A large Roman numeral XII is mounted on the front side of the mechanism, on which was to be located a traditional dial, by 4 pistons at 2, 4, 8 and 10 o’clock positions and a rotating helix at the 6 o’clock position. The rotation of the screw provides an automatic winding rotor, as they relate to each other. Skeletonized hour and minute hands are shaped like an anchor of "Titanic."
The novelties are designed on the basis of an automatic mechanism RJ001-CS, collected at 39 jewels, with a carrying frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations. Indication of time is carried out by using central hour and minute hands. The small seconds hand is put to the lateral dial at the 9 o'clock position. The chronological functions are displayed on a 30-minute display at 3 o'clock position, and by means of the central second’s hand.
