Académie 37 Veteran Automatic Watch ACY 2101

The Watch

The Ralf Tech Académie 37 Veteran watch stands out for its elegant yet rugged look. Made in France, it features a 37 mm case in 316L stainless steel. Chosen for its hypoallergenic properties and corrosion resistance, 316L steel offers lasting comfort and durability. A polished, glossy finish adds timeless appeal. Its screw-down crown helps provide water resistance to 10 ATM, making it suitable for splashes and shallow-water immersion. Limited to just 100 pieces, each numbered, this timepiece has an added sense of exclusivity.

The Dial

This watch's dial is understated and easy to read. Its semi-matte 95% black finish reduces unwanted reflections while keeping the time clear. The Arabic numerals and hour markers are treated with SuperLuminova for excellent visibility in the dark. A railroad minute track adds a precise finishing touch. The domed sapphire crystal, known for its strength and scratch resistance, also has an anti-reflective coating for exceptional clarity. The result is a watch that pairs function with classic style.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch is the RTA 003 movement developed by Ralf Tech. This automatic caliber showcases mechanical quality and craftsmanship. Its oscillating rotor converts wrist movement into energy, allowing the watch to run without a battery and providing a 40-hour power reserve. It displays the hours, minutes, and seconds for precise, reliable timekeeping. The automatic movement brings together efficiency, sophistication, watchmaking tradition, and modern technology.

The Straps

Two strap options make this watch easy to adapt to the occasion. The brown calfskin leather strap lends it a classic, elegant look, with stitching that adds a refined touch. Soft and supple, the leather feels comfortable on the wrist. The black tropic-style silicone strap offers a sportier, more modern option for active everyday wear. Each strap has a secure, easy-to-use pin buckle and fits the watch's 20,00 mm lug width.

Water Resistance

Water resistance is a key feature of this watch. Rated to 10 ATM, or 100 meters, it is equipped for everyday exposure to water, whether you're swimming in shallow water or caught in wet conditions. A screw-down crown adds protection against water getting inside, helping the watch maintain its performance and appearance. It makes the Académie 37 Veteran a stylish, practical choice for anyone who values durability and reliability.
