All about the RALF TECH Académie Pirates Shadow BRONZE ACY 1301
All about the "Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE « PIRATES SHADOW » BRONZE ACY 1301", which impresses with its grey dial.
ACADÉMIE is RALF TECH's classic. The "Pirates Shadow" version celebrates RALF TECH's independent spirit through this dark and timeless piece. This watch is definitely both classic and different at the same time!
The ACADÉMIE model, which Frank Huyghe designed in 2015 in memory of a watch owned by his grandfather, does not conform to the RALF TECH style. "Why not? Is there a RALF TECH style? Tell me more about visions, joy, envy... And then we'll talk about style! Design is not fixed, it evolves and adapts. Man is its source and its promised land."
Round, curved, sensual, without being feminine, its curves are both pleasing to the eye and gentle to the touch. Timeless, inspired by the 50s and 60s, it reinterprets them without distorting them. The "glass box" shaped crystal is the highlight. And once again, the recipe is followed for the Ralf Tech ACADÉMIE « PIRATES SHADOW » BRONZE ACY 1301: instinct, first draft, feedback and final draft.

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
Behind WATCHDAVID.SHOP, I, David Drilling, stand as a true watch enthusiast, watch photographer, and independent tester. Since 2018, I have been providing honest wear reports on my channels. In my shop, I exclusively sell watches whose quality and history I have personally verified. No anonymous mass-produced goods, but personal expertise.
Shipping & No Import Charges
Shipping within Germany and the EU is completely free for you and fully insured via DHL or FedEx Express. Important for you: There are guaranteed to be no import duties, taxes or hidden fees. The exact delivery time for your model will always be transparently displayed directly above the "Buy" button.
Cancellations & Free Returns
You can easily cancel your purchase within 14 days. Unlike other retailers, I will cover the full cost of your return shipping within the EU. Simply send me a short email to david@watchdavid.com and I will send you your free DHL return label. It doesn't get any more risk-free than that.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee you 100% that all watches offered are unworn, brand new original goods. In the shop, I strictly differentiate between regular new goods directly from the manufacturer and exclusive photo watches. Photo watches are models that I have used for my videos or photos, or that come from a return. I sell them absolutely honestly as used and significantly reduced – but the full manufacturer's warranty only begins on the day of your purchase!
Warranty & David's "All-Round Carefree Service"
Every watch comes with the full, international manufacturer's warranty (at least 2 years). In the event of a warranty claim, you'll have absolutely no stress: I'll handle all communication with the brand and organize insured round-trip shipping for you. Even after the warranty period expires, I remain your personal point of contact for service inquiries.
Quality Control
Mechanical watches are fascinating masterpieces. Before dispatch, each watch undergoes a thorough optical and mechanical final inspection. Should a problem ever arise despite our secure transport protection, please inform me immediately by email. I will promptly arrange for a quick, uncomplicated replacement.
