All about the RALF TECH The Beast manufacture caliber First Edition TBM 1001
RALF TECH has stood for professional diving watches since it was founded in 2005. Special Forces and diving service providers rely on the indestructible diving tools from France. Tested up to a diving depth of 3,000m and equipped with a French manufacture caliber, 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 watches in the world.
For everyone who is looking for an absolutely special diving watch. TBM 1001.
NEW & original packaging. Comes with another volume in a huge case. With tool for changing the strap.
LIMITED EDITION only 77 pieces worldwide.
RALF TECH has held the depth record (330m) on the arm of a scuba diver with the WR1 since 2005. With The Beast, however, the average depth of the ocean (3,682m) was taken as a target and the bar was set a little higher: in static tests with the submarine manufacturer Triton, depths of up to 4,000m were achieved.
The The Beast project was initiated in 2019 - with countless tests in compressed air chambers and with civil and military diving robots, RALF TECH left nothing to chance: The Beast is unmistakably a RALF TECH: cushion-shaped and yet round. With a diameter of 47.7mm and a case height of only 17mm, the Tool-Watch surprises with its good portability for professional divers and watch fans.
RALF TECH The Beast Manufactory First Edition
The housing walls made of matt-finished stainless steel are 12 mm thick in critical load zones so that they can “take” strong impacts. The unidirectional rotating bezel was developed with professional divers. Not only is it particularly easy to grip and can be operated precisely with 120 clicks for diving and decompression times, but it is also extremely durable thanks to the matt Ceramfine ceramic inlay. With a thickness of 6mm, The Beast has one of the strongest sapphire crystals in a series-produced watch.
The Beast has a new encapsulation system developed by RALF TECH, in which the base is anchored extremely deeply in the housing. This ensures long service intervals and, above all, a certified pressure resistance of up to 3,000 m.
The new dial is very open, large and offers excellent readability. The indices have been specially deepened to accommodate a particularly large amount of “Old Radium SuperLuminova”. The Beast celebrates another premiere with the new French caliber from the Pequignet manufacturer: It is the first automatic movement that is completely developed and manufactured in France. With two directional winding, 28,800 oscillations/hr, high efficiency and stop-seconds, the new caliber achieves a 77-hour power reserve.
The Beast is available in a limited edition of 77 copies each with a steel case (6,800 euros) or black PVD-coated steel (7,000 euros) in my shop.
RALF TECH The Beast Manufakture First Edition Video Test & Hands-on on YouTube:
My conclusion:
"RALF TECH proves with THE BEAST that, despite the international, monstrous-sounding name, you can build a thoroughly French diving watch. Once you let the beast off the leash, it is breathtaking in every respect. RALF TECH shows off with its new Divers have achieved certified water resistance up to 3000 meters - in cooperation with the submarine manufacturer it has even been tested up to 4,000m THE BEAST is at the top of the 18 best diving watches of 2022 and 2023. The limited edition of 77 pieces is powered by the elegant in-house caliber RTM001, which is manufactured for RALF TECH by Pequignet. The French automatic caliber offers a power reserve of 77 hours is 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.
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!
