The RM 11-03 FQ TPT has a case that is a mixture of red quartz and carbon, produced in a series of layers (“TPT” is “thin-ply technology”) which offer an attractive aesthetic when machined — similar, in theory, to Damascus-style steel. Originally developed to be a light and strong material for sports (such as competitive racing yachts) and industrial purposes, TPT benefits the watch landscape because of its aesthetics.
