As part of UNESCO’s "Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity" since 2003, on November 2nd, the Día de los Muertos, brightens up the streets of Mexico with its related festivities and traditions. It’s with this spirit that RJ-Romain Jerome celebrates life and chases worries and negativity away with the Día de los Muertos Clásico collection.

This new collection offers a range of three new designs, each housed in an elegant 43 mm black PVD-coated steel case. The black bezel has been delicately engraved with RJ’s Calaveras and filigree decorations. The dial sports the brands recognisable X traverses whilst the rest of the surface is filled with engravings of the famous skull, creating a unique sense of depth. The main Calaveras applique is carefully set in the center of the dial, allowing the wearer to appreciate the design of the watch through every detail².
