RALF TECH WRX ELECTRIC "ORIGINAL" WRX 5001

All about the "Ralf Tech WRX ELECTRIC « ORIGINAL » WRX 5001", which impresses with its black dial.

Designed in 2008 and developed in collaboration with the combat swimmers of the Division Commando Hubert of the French Navy, who started using the watch from 2010, the WRX "Original" is a reference instrument in the world of the military and professional divers. In this new edition, the WRX is equipped with a new electric movement and a sandwich-type dial.

The first WRX was designed by Frank Huyghe in 2007. Born from the feedback of the WR1, the world record holder in autonomous diving, it was the desire of the founder of RALF TECH to go beyond what had been achieved and create a model that knows no bounds. "To go beyond modes, we must work without preconceived notions. Only the vision of the product is successful, and the constraints associated with its use should lead us to a certain restraint." The pencil stroke is clean and uncompromising. Subdued and rounded forms merge into a homogeneous watch that can find its way even in the deepest depths. Thus, in 2008, a pre-series was created. One expedition follows another, and the WRX moves further and further away from classic watch production. In 2010, French special forces embarked on a mission on the other side of the world with WRXs. The final series, slightly modified and improved, emerges from the feedback of the operators of the Commando Hubert of the French Navy. The path is now clear: instinct, initial design, feedback, and final design.
