Project RNR Rockfighter
DNA Edition
The RNR Rockfighter is a limited edition timepiece created from the door of a 2003 Land Rover Defender – a vehicle built to go everywhere and endure anything.
Owned by adventurer Michael Ortner, this Defender crossed mountains and deserts across Europe and North Africa. When its door was replaced in 2019, we salvaged the original panel to forge something new.
Now, that same material lives on as the dial of the Rockfighter – a tribute to grit, endurance, and a roadless state of mind.

A Lifetime of Tours
Tough as Nails
The 2003 Defender known as the Rockfighter was purpose-built by Michael Ortner to endure the world’s harshest environments.
For over 17 years, it served as both a personal companion and a professional tool on off-road expeditions across continents.
Outdoor Adventures
On your wrist
From that retired door, we created 453 dials – each lacquered, leveled, and sealed to preserve its unique patina.
Every piece carries the memory of landscapes crossed, engines tested, and roads not required.
Hard Lines
Soft Edges
Every detail of the RNR Rockfighter is grounded in utility – from its square 40 mm case to its softly curved silhouette.
It was designed not just to resemble the Defender, but to share its purpose: tough, reliable, and built for impact.

Splitit installment payments at 0% interest: How does it work exactly?
Splitit allows you to split the total payment over a maximum of twelve months using your credit card. This service is free, involves no credit checks or applications, and means you can choose to split your payment into monthly installments.
To use this payment method all you need a credit card with a sufficient amount of available credit. Splitit authorizes the total order value—but don’t worry, this is not taken in full when you complete the purchase. At the time of shipping, only the first installment will be charged to your credit card. A payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during for up to 30 days after placing your order.
After each monthly payment, the amount held from your available balance will be reduced to the new remaining balance (the held amount might appear as “pending”). To ensure that the authorization of your credit card is valid for the entire payment period, the authorization will be renewed every 21 days.
Are there any extra fees involved?
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest, or hidden fees of any kind.
Which credit cards does Splitit support?
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa cards. Debit cards and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?
You must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase for up to 30 days after placing the order. The average authorization typically drops off within 5-10 working days. The authorized amount will be charged only in the event that a monthly payment is declined (the authorization hold might appear as “pending” on your credit card bill).
What happens if I return the product?
If you decide to not keep the ordered item(s), upon return of the items we will reimburse the installments that have already been paid and cancel the outstanding payments.
When and where can I choose the number of installments for my payment plan?
