The Rafa is the sport expression of this vocabulary in its standard steel form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"wcl-lux-section\"\u003e\u003carticle class=\"wcl-lux-editorial\"\u003e\u003ch2 class=\"wcl-lux-heading\"\u003eThe Daily Sport Tonneau\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong the Daniel Gorman RM series available at Wclocks, the Skeleton Series Rafa occupies the daily active sport position: 5 ATM water resistance, Japanese automatic self-wind, silicone strap, and four colour variants that cover the practical range from neutral Silver to bold Rose Black. It does not have the carbon fiber surface treatment of the Rafa Carbon Fiber variant, nor the space-themed dial of the Space Edition. It is the clean, steel-first expression of the tonneau format in four wearable daily colour options. The 99g weight is slightly heavier than the Skeleton Series Tonneau's 94g and the Space Edition's 94g, creating a marginally different wrist feel at the same dimensions. The 42x55mm tonneau geometry is common to all models in the RM series, and the Rafa shares the silicone strap, buckle clasp, and 15mm profile with its siblings. Where the Rafa distinguishes itself is in the four-colour offering that provides the most colour variety in the RM steel lineup - and Rose Black in particular stands out as a colour combination found nowhere else in the Daniel Gorman RM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003eRose Black, Silver, White, Black\u003c\/strong\u003e.
