BEST OV DIVE WATCHES 2023

Since 2005, RALF TECH has held the depth record (330m) on the wrist of a scuba diver with the WR1. However, with The Beast, they took the average depth of the oceans (3,682m) as a goal and raised the bar even higher: static tests with the submarine manufacturer Triton reached depths up to 4,000m.

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 matte stainless steel have a thickness of 12mm in critical stress zones to withstand strong impacts. The unidirectional rotating bezel was developed with professional divers. It is not only particularly grippy and precise with 120 "clicks" for dive and decompression times, but also extremely resistant thanks to the matte Ceramfine ceramic inlay. With a thickness of 6mm, The Beast has one of the strongest sapphire crystals in a serially produced watch.

The Beast features a new encapsulation system developed by RALF TECH, where the case back is anchored extremely deep in the case. This ensures long service intervals and above all a certified pressure resistance up to 3,000m.

Very open, large-surfaced, and with excellent readability, the new dial presents itself. The indexes were specially recessed to hold a particularly large amount of "Old Radium SuperLuminova". The Beast also celebrates a premiere with the new French caliber from the Pequignet manufacture: It is the first manufacture automatic movement completely developed and produced in France. With bi-directional winding, 28,800 vibrations/hr, high efficiency, and hacking seconds, the new caliber achieves a 77-hour power reserve.

The Beast is available in a limited edition of 77 pieces each with a steel case (€6,800) or black PVD-coated steel (€7,500) in my shop.

My personal view on the RALF TECH The Beast manufacture caliber First Edition Black TBM1101

David Drilling Fazit

"That despite the international, monstrously sounding name, a thoroughly French diving watch can be built, RALF TECH proves with THE BEAST. Once you unleash the beast, it is breathtaking in every respect. RALF TECH claims to have achieved certified water resistance with its black diver up to 3000 meters – in cooperation with the submarine manufacturer, it was even tested up to 4,000m. In the list of the 18 best diving watches 2022 & 2023, THE BEAST thus sits at the top. The edition limited to 77 pieces is powered by the noble manufacture caliber RTM001, which is made for RALF TECH by Pequignet. The French automatic caliber offers a power reserve of 77 hours! This sets the next record. No wonder...."

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.
