ACADEMIE ELECTRIC 37

In 2005, RALF TECH made history in the world of dive watches with the WR1, a timepiece that became iconic after accompanying the world record for scuba diving depth at -330m. In 2010, the WRX reaffirmed the brand’s operational focus by equipping special forces in France and some twenty other countries. Then, in 2014, the WRV introduced a new dimension—more elegant and vintage—without ever compromising the technical DNA that has made RALF TECH’s reputation.

Launched in 2019, the ACADÉMIE quickly established itself as the most refined expression of this heritage. Inspired by watches from the 1950s and 1960s, it embodies the values of transmission, memory, and excellence that lie at the heart of military and police academies and major training institutions.

Today, RALF TECH presents the ACADÉMIE 37, a new take on its most elegant model.

With its 37-mm case, this new version recaptures the iconic proportions of the classic watches that have shaped the history of watchmaking. More compact, it offers exceptional comfort on the wrist while retaining the strong personality that characterizes the ACADÉMIE collection.

Its round case with clean lines, subtly sloping lugs, and anti-reflective “Glass Box” sapphire crystal lend it a natural and timeless elegance. The ACADÉMIE 37 embodies a vision of watchmaking where simplicity becomes a signature.

The ACADÉMIE 37 model is available in three different versions: City Spirit, Purple Mood, and Out of Range.

Beneath this apparent simplicity, however, lies all of RALF TECH’s technical expertise. Assembled in France, the ACADÉMIE 37 is equipped with an electric movement offering an exceptional power reserve of approximately 100,000 hours—equivalent to nearly 12 years of continuous operation. This remarkable performance reflects the brand’s long-standing philosophy: to create reliable, precise timepieces built to last.

True to its roots in scuba diving, the ACADÉMIE 37 features a screw-down case back and crown that guarantee true water resistance to 100 meters. This capability—rare in a watch with such a classic style—serves as a reminder that behind its elegance lies a genuine, high-performance instrument.

The three new ACADÉMIE 37 models are also recognizable by their dials, which draw directly from traditional craftsmanship and feature subtle hues that blend sunburst and smoked finishes, creating a color effect that shifts depending on the ambient light.

More than just a new size, the ACADÉMIE 37 represents a new approach to elegance according to RALF TECH: precise proportions, a discreet yet assertive presence, and technical performance rooted in over twenty years of adventures alongside the most demanding professionals.

Through this creation, RALF TECH continues its mission of sharing knowledge and pursuing excellence, offering a watch that celebrates both the art of French watchmaking and the spirit of those who dedicate themselves every day to serving others.
