RALF TECH WRV Automatic Black Pirates 44mm
Twenty-two pieces. Black, mechanical and created with absolutely no interest in following convention.
The WRV Automatic Black Pirates is one of the rarest expressions of RALF TECH’s seventies-inspired professional diver.
Its 43.8mm steel case is finished in matte black PVD, surrounding an equally restrained 95% matte-black dial. Blackened hands, C3 Super-LumiNova® and a black diving bezel give the watch an uncompromising, almost entirely monochromatic personality.
The Pirates name reflects RALF TECH’s connection with the sea, but also something more personal to the brand: independence, irreverence and the willingness to choose a different path.
Inside is the RTA001 automatic movement, offering up to 44 hours of power reserve, while a curved 3.5mm sapphire crystal, protected screw-down crown and professional 120-click bezel accompany 200 metres / 660 feet of water resistance.
A hand-sewn vintage black calfskin strap is joined by a black silicone alternative.
Only 22 numbered examples were produced.
Why buy it?
Because twenty-two watches is not simply limited production.
It is genuine rarity.
Years later, with the Black Pirates now part of RALF TECH’s New Old Stock collection, finding one still new and unworn becomes considerably more exceptional.
A rare WRV for those who understand that independence has always been part of the RALF TECH character.
