Académie Automatic Riviera ACY 1104 Watch

Limited Edition of 100 pieces.

The Watch

This limited-edition model is brought to you by the Franco-Swiss brand Ralf Tech. This collection, limited to 100 pieces, is defined by its refined, highly elegant aesthetic. The automatic "Riviera" ACY 1104 from the Académie collection draws its inspiration from the South of France and the spirit of vacation. The model unveiled today features a round case in 316L surgical steel with a beautiful polished finish. At 41 mm in diameter, it will elevate men's wrists and complement any outfit. The screw-down crown, traditionally positioned at 3 o'clock, lets you set the time with ease. The dial is shielded from everyday shocks and scratches by a domed sapphire crystal. Its anti-reflective coating ensures optimal readability. Finally, with its screw-down case back, this watch is water-resistant to 20 atmospheres.

The Dial

The round dial of this timepiece features a white sunray finish. It houses two baton hands and a fine seconds hand in matching color, adding a luminous touch to your wrist. They sweep across hours, minutes, and seconds marked by baton indices and a railroad track. For enhanced legibility, the hands and indices are coated with a Superluminova C1 luminescent treatment. Finally, you'll find the brand's signature below the 12 o'clock index along with its logo.

The Movement

At the heart of this case beats an automatic movement manufactured in-house by Ralf Tech. Running on caliber RTA003, it features 24 jewels. Robust and precise, it operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivers a 44-hour power reserve.

The Strap

A black vintage calfskin leather strap wraps elegantly around the case. Hand-stitched with grey contrast stitching for a modern touch, it's a genuine style statement. For a sportier, more laid-back look, a second strap in black silicone is included. Both straps fasten securely with a pin buckle. Note the 22 mm lug width.

Water Resistance

With 200-meter water resistance - or 20 ATM in the precise language of watchmaking - this watch is built for shallow-water diving. It handles showers, baths, ocean swims, and casual freediving with ease. For professional scuba diving with tanks, our watchmaking team at Ocarat has curated a selection of 30 ATM models, available in our catalog with a quick search on our site. One last word of advice: do not operate the pushers or crown while submerged!
