By TLex RALF TECH are celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the WR1, the dive watch that was worn for the World Record deepest unassisted scuba dive,
where record of negative 330 meters was achieved by the French diver, Pascal Bernabé in Corsica on the 5th of July 2005.
The record remained unbroken for almost a decade, until it was finally beaten by a mere 2.35 meters in 2014!
Form a purely horological point of view, the WR1 used for the record in 2005 was the very first RALF TECH dive watch ever produced in series.
It remains to this day, the only production dive watch to have been tested in real world conditions at such an extreme depth (for humans). No submersibles or robotic arms - but worn as part of a scuba divers equipment.
