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 represent 96% of the biosphere's volume. And the ocean is still our last frontier.
The adventure of THE BEAST, designed by Frank Huyghe in 2019, was marked by current events... COVID-19, tests in hyperbaric chambers, tests with civilian and military robots, technical and weather hazards, tests with submarines capable of traversing 3000 meters, etc.
No RALF TECH watch had previously required such extensive development. But with such an objective, nothing was left to chance. To achieve this, THE BEAST became a true laboratory for testing and innovation.
Starting with its movement! It took our partner PEQUIGNET 3 years to develop the first 100% French automatic movement. Then there was the form of THE BEAST... A decidedly different approach for a new case, combining technical performance, instinctive handling, and low thickness for maximum water resistance.
And finally, speaking of water resistance, an incredible feat with water resistance tested under static conditions at -4000m and certified under real conditions at -3000m.
This places THE BEAST directly among the very private circle of 3 production watches that have reached or exceeded -3,682 meters, the average depth of the oceans!
