The RNR Rockfighter
The RNR Rockfighter is a limited edition timepiece made from the 2003 Land Rover Defender, known as the “Rockfighter.”
Owned by Michael Ortner, this Defender has tackled diverse terrains, from Corsican mountains to Moroccan deserts, earning its name through rugged adventures. Signs of its journey were evident, and when a replacement door was needed in 2019, the original material was repurposed for the watch dial, celebrating its resilience.
The RNR, meaning “Road Not Required,” highlights the vehicle’s exceptional off-road prowess.

A Lifetime of Tours
Tough as Nails
The 2003 Land Rover Defender, known as the “Rockfighter,” was expertly customized by Michael Ortner to tackle extreme off-road challenges.
For seventeen years, Michael has driven the Rockfighter across the globe, guiding off-road adventures through some of the toughest terrains as part of his 4X4 Experience tours.
Outdoor Adventures
On your wrist
From the Rockfighter’s repurposed door, we created 453 dials, each coated with a clear lacquer and meticulously incorporated into the RNR Rockfighter timepiece.
These dials carry the essence of a vehicle that has explored more of the world in seventeen years than most Defenders do in a lifetime.
Each dial bears the distinctive marks of the Defender’s rugged adventures, embodying its storied journey, adding both substance and patina to each RNR timepiece.
Hard Lines
Soft Edges
Every aspect of the RNR Rockfighter’s design reflects the functionality and style of the 2003 “Rockfighter” Land Rover Defender, a process that took a year of meticulous development.
Built for durability, the 40 mm square case features soft, rounded corners designed to endure life’s toughest challenges.

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.

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”).

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.

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.
