All about the RALF TECH The Beast Manufacture Movement First Edition Black TBM1101
Since its founding in 2005, RALF TECH has stood for professional diving watches. Special Forces and diving service providers rely on the indestructible diving tools from France. Tested to a diving depth of 3,000m and equipped with a French manufacture movement, Ralf Tech also sets new technical standards with The Beast.
Tested under real conditions at -3000 meters and under static conditions at -4000 meters, it is one of the three deepest series-produced watches in the world.
For all those looking for an absolutely special diving watch. TBM1101.
NEW & original packaging. Comes with 2 additional straps in a huge case. With tool for changing straps.
LIMITED EDITION of only 77 pieces worldwide.
Since 2005, RALF TECH has held the depth record (330m) on the arm of a scuba diver with the WR1. With The Beast, however, the average depth of the oceans (3,682m) was taken as a target, raising the bar even higher: In static tests with submarine manufacturer Triton, depths of up to 4,000m were reached.
The Project The Beast was initiated back in 2019 – with countless tests in pressure chambers and with civilian and military diving robots, RALF TECH left nothing to chance: The Beast is unmistakably a RALF TECH: cushion-shaped yet round. With a diameter of 47.7mm and a case height of only 17mm, the tool watch surprises with good wearability for professional divers and watch fans.
RALF TECH The Beast Manufacture First Edition Black
The case walls made of brushed stainless steel have a thickness of 12mm in critical stress zones to withstand even strong impacts. The unidirectional rotating bezel was developed with professional divers. This means it is not only particularly grippy and precisely operable with 120 "clicks" for diving and decompression times, but also extremely durable thanks to the matte Ceramfine ceramic inlay. With a thickness of 6mm, The Beast has one of the strongest sapphire crystals on a mass-produced watch.
The Beast features a new encapsulation system developed by RALF TECH, where the case back is anchored extremely deep within the case. This ensures long service intervals and, above all, a certified pressure resistance of up to 3,000m.
The new dial is very open, large, and offers excellent legibility. The indices have been specially recessed to accommodate a particularly large amount of "Old Radium SuperLuminova". The Beast also celebrates another premiere with the new French caliber from the Pequignet manufacture: It is the first manufacture automatic movement to be entirely developed and produced in France. With bi-directional winding, 28,800 vibrations/hr, high efficiency, and hacking seconds, the new caliber achieves a power reserve of 77 hours.
The Beast is available in a limited edition of 77 pieces each with a steel case (6,800 Euros) or black PVD-coated steel (7,500 Euros) in my shop.

My personal view on the RALF TECH The Beast Manufacture Movement First Edition Black TBM1101
"Dass man trotz des internationalen, monströs klingenden Namen eine durch und durch französische Taucheruhr bauen kann, beweist RALF TECH mit THE BEAST. Lässt man das Biest einmal von der Leine, ist es in jeder Hinsicht atemberaubend. RALF TECH gibt an, mit seinem schwarzen Taucher bis 3000 Meter zertifizierte Wasserdichtigkeit erreicht zu haben – In Kooperation mit dem U-Boothersteller wurde sogar bis 4.000m getestet. In der Liste der 18 besten Taucheruhren 2022 & 2023 thront THE BEAST damit an der Spitze. Die auf 77 Exemplare limitierte Edition wird vom edlen Manufakturkaliber RTM001 angetrieben, welches für RALF TECH von Pequignet gefertigt wird. Das französische Automatikkaliber bietet eine Gangreserve von 77 Stunden! Damit fällt die nächste Bestmarke. Kein Wunder...."

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.
No answer received?
You contacted me, via the contact form, about the price proposal, directly by email, chat, but you didn't receive a reply?
Then please check your SPAM folder! Many providers are getting crazier and crazier and are sending more and more to spam.
I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
Mechanics - Sometimes things can go wrong
Before I ship your order, I carefully inspect each watch for visible defects.
However, should a problem arise, such as a defect during transit, please inform me immediately. I will do everything in my power to find a quick solution and ensure your satisfaction.
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!
