Designed by former Navy Seals to push the limits of underwater exploration, the THE BEAST Electric « AMPHIBIAN » by Ralf Tech revolutionizes diving watchmaking with its hybrid electric technology and exceptional waterproofing of 3000 meters. This limited edition of only 50 pieces embodies French excellence in the service of deep-sea professionals and extreme adventure enthusiasts.
When innovation meets special forces
The result of a unique collaboration between French watch engineers and former members of American special forces, this tool watch transcends the traditional standards of diving watchmaking. Specifically developed to celebrate the ties between French special forces and their American counterparts, it meets the strictest requirements of professionals operating in hostile environments.
The THE BEAST Electric « AMPHIBIAN » stands out for its revolutionary approach to underwater timekeeping, incorporating cutting-edge technologies in a 47.7 mm case forged from 316L surgical steel. This generous yet controlled dimension ensures perfect readability even in the most degraded visibility conditions.
A technical feat in the service of the extreme
The beating heart of this exceptional timepiece lies in its RTE001 micro-hybrid electric movement, developed exclusively in Switzerland for Ralf Tech. This major innovation combines a revolutionary micro-hybrid system that drastically reduces the number of moving parts while optimizing precision and reliability.
The exclusive case back encapsulation system, launched in 2019, ensures perfect waterproofing by hermetically sealing the back to the case middle. This technical feat allows for a pressure resistance tested and certified up to 3000 meters, placing this creation among the three deepest production watches in the world.
The exceptional autonomy of 100,000 hours, nearly 12 years of continuous operation, shatters the industry standards where automatic movements offer 40 hours and traditional quartz about 2 years. The ultra-high-speed rotor can reach 100,000 revolutions per minute, five times the maximum speed of a Formula 1 engine.
French excellence accessible to explorers of the abyss
Offered at the price of 3000 euros, the THE BEAST Electric « AMPHIBIAN » makes high-level technical watchmaking accessible while maintaining the exclusivity of a limited production of 50 pieces. This pricing strategy makes the Ralf Tech universe accessible to professional divers and knowledgeable collectors.
The complete equipment includes a black silicone strap resistant to marine environments, a second black Zulu strap, and a polycarbonate protective case specially designed for expeditions. The unidirectional rotating bezel with 120 clicks strictly adheres to ISO 6425 standards, ensuring intuitive handling even with thick diving gloves.
