From the first watch in 2005 to this new model, RALF TECH has always been at the forefront of conquering the oceans. With an average depth of 3,682 meters, the oceans make up 96% of the volume of the biosphere. And the ocean is still our last frontier.
The adventure of THE BEAST, designed by Frank Huyghe in 2019, was shaped by current events... COVID-19, tests in pressure chambers, tests with civilian and military robots, technical and weather-related hazards, tests with submarines that can traverse 3000 meters, etc...
No RALF TECH watch has required such strong development until now. But with such a goal, nothing was left to chance. To achieve this, THE BEAST became a real laboratory for tests and innovations.
Starting with its movement! For the development of the first 100% French automatic movement, our partner PEQUIGNET needed 3 years. Then the shape of THE BEAST... A decidedly different approach for a new case, combining technical performance, intuitive handling, and slimness for maximum water resistance.
And finally, speaking of water resistance, an incredible achievement with water resistance tested under static conditions at -4000m and certified under real conditions at -3000m.
This places THE BEAST directly in the very private circle of the 3 serial watches that have reached or exceeded -3,682 meters, the average depth of the oceans!
