Being born in the depths of the ocean, RALF TECH naturally became a precursor in developing watches used in extreme conditions, both on land and at sea.

Even before designing its very first watches, RALF TECH was already equipping the French Navy and its combat swimmers with diving equipment, who trusted the brand and who found the reliability needed to meet the requirements and challenges of their missions.

In 2010, the operators of the French special forces tested a RALF TECH watch model during a mission in Afghanistan, which they helped develop in order to address specific needs. That watch is the WRX. In a mountainous environment, with extreme temperatures and in a particularly a violent terrain, the watch proved its solidity, legibility, autonomy and water-resistance (with not only water, but also with dust and sand).

Since then, it has equipped most of the French Special Forces units and their headquarter staff as well as the elite units of the French State Police and the special counter terrorist units. Switzerland, Great Britain, Italy – among others – have also equipped some of their Special Forces units with RALF TECH watches. 

Since 2019 the French Navy has authorized RALF TECH to use the famous acronym MN followed by the year of issue on the back of the watches for special forces combat swimmers. Such is a legitimate and appreciated recognition for RALF TECH, which has long maintained close ties with this institute.
