RALF TECH Académie Pirates Shadow Bronze Limited Edition ACY 1301

BRAND NEW! About the RALF TECH Académie Pirates Shadow Bronze Limited Edition of 100 pieces, numbered on the back. XXX/100. ACY 1301.

Cool-grey or Royal-blue? - Two new Académie models in bronze.

The Parisian brand, known for robust professional tool watches, expands its collection with the stylish Académie model in a bronze case.

For those who find Ralf Tech's mission timers too robust, or who don't necessarily consider themselves professional divers, the new Académie offers a casual, stylish alternative.

The model was designed by Frank Huyghe, originally a French Navy diver, not as a tool watch, but as an homage to his grandfather. Frank recalled his grandfather's watches from the late 1960s and early 1970s and designed the Académie collection as a vintage-look counterpoint to the professional watches of the WRX and WRV collections.

Still entirely Ralf Tech, the new model is water-resistant to at least 200m and focuses on durability and modern technologies. The 41mm case is made from CuAL8, a special, non-corrosive alloy of copper and aluminum. The Glassbox sapphire crystal with a thickness of 2.5mm allows a clear view of the dial even from the side.

Casually cool or royally elegant? Two dial variations make it possible: with the choice of the cool grey version Académie Pirates Shadow and the elegant royal-blue lacquered Académie, there's a suitable solution for every wrist.

Both are powered by the proven automatic workhorse Seiko NH35. In addition to the calfskin strap, a black silicone strap is included.

Both models are limited to 100 pieces each and cost 2,200 EUR each. Once they're gone, they're gone.

My conclusion on the RALF TECH Académie Pirates Shadow Bronze:

"I'm a huge fan of bronze watches! So I find it even cooler that RALF TECH is launching two new Académie watches. And then limited to 100 pieces each! Even I find it hard to decide on the dials. While I'm a total skull fan, the royal-blue lacquered version also really appeals to me! I'm curious which one YOU choose! The price of 2,200 EUR each is absolutely justified."
