The Beast Manufacture Automatic Edition II TBM1002 Watch

The Watch

The Ralf Tech The Beast Manufacture Automatic "Edition II" watch stands out with its bold, imposing design. Built to withstand the most extreme conditions, it achieves an impressive depth rating of -4,000 meters - placing it in the ultra-exclusive club of only three watches to have reached or exceeded the average ocean depth of -3,682 meters. Its barrel-shaped case features a generous diameter of 47.70 mm and a thickness of 17.00 mm, commanding serious wrist presence. Made in France, this watch embodies Ralf Tech's exceptional craftsmanship. The 316L stainless steel case, prized for its strength and corrosion resistance, features a matte finish achieved through intensive brushing - adding a subtle elegance to this bold timepiece. The ceramic bezel, rotating and unidirectional, is fitted with luminescent markers, making this watch as functional as it is striking.

The Dial

The dial of this watch features a captivating blue hue and a matte finish that give it an unmistakably modern, sophisticated character. Arabic numerals ensure sharp, instant legibility - essential for activities like diving. The hands, crafted with exceptional precision, are coated with SuperLuminova, as are the indices. These luminous elements are designed to absorb natural or artificial light, ensuring maximum visibility even in the darkest environments. A minute track neatly frames the display and reinforces the dial's graphic cohesion. Protection is provided by a domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its extreme hardness and anti-reflective coating, which eliminates visual distortion and guarantees perfect clarity in any lighting condition.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats an automatic RTM001 movement developed by Ralf Tech - a symbol of high-caliber watchmaking innovation. This French movement carries on a tradition of excellence, running at a frequency of 28,800 vph (i.e., 4 Hz) for exceptional accuracy. It delivers a power reserve of 77 hours, ensuring outstanding performance even when left unworn. Beyond the essential hours, minutes, and seconds functions, this movement represents the pinnacle of autonomy and ingenuity in the world of dive watches.

The Strap

The strap of this watch, crafted from black alligator leather and silicone, is a masterpiece of refinement and comfort. Its rich texture and alligator-pattern finish, accented with precise stitching, speak to its timeless elegance and lasting durability. Far from merely aesthetic, this strap is also highly practical - water-resistant and built for daily wear - offering optimal comfort for those who want a style that bridges tradition and innovation. At 26 mm wide, it sits comfortably on the wrist and is secured with a pin buckle clasp for a reliable, secure fit.

Water Resistance

This watch represents the ultimate expression of water resistance in watchmaking, rated to 400 ATM. That equates to withstanding the pressure at a staggering depth of 4,000 meters - making it the ideal instrument for professional swimmers and deep-sea divers. Whether in intense marine environments or freshwater, this watch is engineered to overcome the most demanding challenges of pressure and immersion. This remarkable ability to withstand extreme external forces reflects Ralf Tech's unwavering commitment to crafting high-precision instruments for underwater exploration.
