Watchmaking enthusiast since childhood, certified scuba diving instructor since the 80’s, Frank Huyghe specialized in the exploration of sunken wrecks, and in 1996, decided to create RALF TECH, a brand of technical scuba diving equipment dedicated to professional and military divers.

In the infinite immensity of the cosmos, a link stretches between the abyss and space. It's a dance between darkness and light, in which ocean waves resonate with cosmic waves in a single harmonious surge. The link between the abyss and space transcends mere coexistence.

From its first watch in 2005 to this new model, RALF TECH has always been at the forefront of the conquest of the oceans. Since the dawn of time, man has sought to understand his environment in order to better control it. While we work in space and plan to go to Mars, we are still unable to go to the bottom of the ocean on our own planet.

Unveiled 5 years ago, the Académie collection celebrates the ‘cadets’ who pass through the prestigious military and police academies. The cadets and, of course, their instructors are the ones who need to learn from their elders.

Following the launch of the WRX Electric at the end of 2020, RALF TECH is today (5 May) introducing 3 new versions of the WRX in darker colours, heralding the return of the legendary ‘Black Operator’ aka ‘Black O’ for fans of the brand.

17 place du Marché Saint-Honoré... RALF TECH's new address is located between the houses of haute joaillerie and the area's typical restaurants, a stone's throw from Place Vendôme and Rue Saint-Honoré, in the heart of the capital and the 1st arrondissement of Paris.

On 21 October, without noise, without media coverage, without artifice, we broke a record. RALF TECH broke a new record. A pre-production model descended to a depth of -3000 metres. And it's not a prototype, nor a simulated test, nor an equivalent, etc... It's the real thing!

The WRX Millenium Lefty, developed with the help of Combat Swimmers from the French Special Forces, has been a benchmark in the military and watchmaking industry since 2014. This fearsomely effective ‘toolwatch’ brings together the sum of all the useful hi-tech solutions developed by the brand to make an outstanding watch.

The latest addition to the RALF TECH family, the WRB renews the genre while preserving the aesthetic codes of the French watchmaker... More discreet than a WRX, its shape is inspired by the WRV. Less imposing than its cousin the WRV, it retains its spirit, main features and functions. Its more ‘reasonable’ dimensions (39mm in diameter) will fit the body of the person who wears it.

On October 8th, after 2 years of development and experimentation in the natural environment, RALF TECH launched a new generation of WRX combining technical modifications and new finishes. These WRX are, among other things, equipped with a new “Electric” movement, new “Sandwich” dials and an innovative encapsulation system guaranteeing a real waterproofness up to 1000 certified meters.

Pirates are back! Or their spirit, at least... Pirates - Latin pirata meaning ‘one who attempts fortune, who is enterprising’ - have always chosen a different path.

In March 2021, after 2 years of development and experimentation in the natural environment, RALF TECH launched a new generation of WRV combining technical modifications and new finishes.

Building on the success of the CARBON TECH model, one of which was launched in 2017, RALF TECH is back with a new unique model in forged carbon.

A little history... Tuesday 6 June 1944, 00.16 am. It was at this very hour that Major John Howard's men leapt from the carcasses of the six British gliders that had just landed.

A solar eclipse is a very rare phenomenon that occurs when the Moon moves in front of the Sun, partially or totally obscuring the Sun from planet Earth. This configuration only occurs during the new Moon, when the Moon and Sun are in conjunction in relation to the Earth. The latest, on Tuesday 2 July 2019, was visible in South America and lasted less than three minutes, giving rise to a breathtaking spectacle.
