All about the RALF TECH Académie Bronze ROYALE Blue Limited Edition ACY 1302

BRAND NEW! About the RALF TECH Académie Bronze ROYALE Blue Limited Edition Edition of 100 pieces, numbered on the back. XXX/100. ACY 1302

Cool gray or royal blue? - Two new Académie models in bronze cladding.

The Parisian brand, which stands for resilient professional tool watches, is expanding its collection with the stylish Académie model in a bronze case.

If Ralf Tech's timepieces are too powerful for you or you don't necessarily consider yourself a professional diver, the new Académie is a casual, stylish alternative.

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

Still very Ralf Tech, the new model is waterproof up to at least 200m and relies on resistance and modern technologies. The 41mm housing is made from CuAL8, a special, non-corrosive alloy made of copper and aluminum. The glass box sapphire crystal with a thickness of 2.5mm also allows a clear view of the dial from the side.

Casual-cool or royally elegant? Two dial variants make it possible: By choosing the cool gray version Académie Pirates Shadow and the The elegant royal blue lacquered Académie offers the right solution for your wrist.

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

The two models are limited to 100 copies each and cost EUR 2,200 each. If gone, then gone.

My conclusion RALF TECH Académie Bronze ROYALE Blue:

David Drilling

"I'm a total bronze watch fan! I think it's all the cooler that RALF TECH is sending two new Académie watches into the race. And then limited to 100 pieces each! When it comes to the dials, even I find it difficult to decide. I am I'm a total skull fan, and the royal blue painted version really turns me on! I'm excited to see which one you choose! The price of EUR 2,200 each is absolutely justified."

About me

My name is David, I was born in the late 60s in NRW, now live and work in the beautiful Harz Mountains, and have been running this watch shop, among other things, since spring 2022.

Since 2018, I have also been running my watch blog watchdavid.de, which features hundreds of reviews and watch news. Since then, I have taken thousands of professional watch photos for over 100 watch brands. Many photos can be found in my reviews. I am known worldwide for this.

As a result, I naturally had thousands of watches in my hands. And with this shop, I want to bring you closer to watches that have convinced me in many ways.

So come along on a journey full of watches... off the mainstream... and if you have a question, please feel free to ask me anytime via the form, chat, WhatsApp, email or phone.

I am very much looking forward to meeting you.

PS: My hobbies & passions include the internet (first agency already in 1996), Denmark, France's coasts (Brittany, Normandy & Côte d’Azur), hiking, e-MTB, sales (Bachelor of Sales) and photography.

My Achilles' heel includes children's chocolate, good food, sneakers & of course watches... :-)

Shipping & Insurance

Within Germany and the EU, I ship free of charge. Shipping is done via DHL and insured up to 500€, 2,500€, or 25,000€, depending on the watch value. The watches are thus always sufficiently insured.

The delivery time can be found in the description and/or under the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after ordering, others are brand new and, for example, only available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...

Cancellation & Return Shipping

You can cancel your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.

I will cover the costs for the return shipping for you.

IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself, I will send you the free return label.

Please simply contact me for this. david@watchdavid.com

It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of signs of use. After successful inspection, I will refund you the purchase price. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.

Authenticity & Condition of the Watches

I guarantee you that all watches I offer are exclusively new original products. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly point this out (e.g. so-called PHOTO WATCHES).

As an official dealer, I offer you exclusively authentic products. These are offered in the original packaging, with warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in the so-called full set. One delivers more, another less...

Warranty & Service

All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which usually lasts two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.

If a warranty case occurs, I will take care of the shipping to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and also organize the return shipment to you. In addition, I handle all communication with the manufacturer so that you don't have to worry about anything.

Even after the warranty period has expired, I remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

No response received?

You wrote to me via the contact form, through the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you haven't received a reply?

Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and pushing more and more into spam.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it can sometimes take a bit longer. As a rule, I respond within a few minutes or hours.

Something can slip past me sometimes too. Or the technology doesn't work as it should. Feel free to write to me again at david@watchdavid.com

Mechanics - Sometimes things can happen there too

Before I ship your order, I carefully check each watch for visible defects.

If a problem should occur, such as damage during transport, please inform me immediately. I will do everything possible to quickly find a solution and ensure that you are satisfied.

My goal is to offer you not only high-quality products but also a first-class shopping experience. I look forward to welcoming you as a satisfied customer!
