RALF TECH WRX
Comment :
The Commando Hubert is a branch of the French Special Forces of the « Marine National ». Heir to the units set up by the Free French Forces during the Second World War in Great Britain, this commando is named after Lieutenant Hubert Augustin, killed on D-Day during the Normandy landing.
A legendary unit, the “Commando d'action sous-marine » (CASM) "Hubert," is the vanguard of the French Special Forces deployed in the utmost secrecy on all continents at the request of the Special Operations Command (SOC). It includes an operational company and a support company. The operational company is divided into four specific sections: Support, Maritime Counter-Terrorism, Underwater Vehicles and Recon.
The Commandos who make up the operational company are all paratroopers and patented military frogmen.
After a joint development with the technical staff of RALF TECH and then a year of testing at the heart of some of the most dangerous parts of the world, the men of the Commando Hubert adopted the WRX "A" to accompany them in all their combat missions.
Be it in the air, on land, and of course underwater, the WRX « A » go where others do not dare :
The main points that brought on the selection of the WRX Hybrid® :
• A quartz system 12 times more precise than a classical automatic movement.
• Mechanical automatic winding : an autonomy of 60 days with no battery
• Toughness tried and tested in the heart of battle
• Antimagnetic so as to not disrupt other underwater instruments
• Optimal Reading
Ralf Tech delivered some watches to the Commando Hubert in 2010 for the development of the current model, 200 pieces on the 15th of September 2011 and another shipment is in progress for 2012.
It is interesting to note that these orders are a deliberate choice, as all watches are purchased and that this is not a sponsorship operation.
The commercial version of the WRX "A" Hybrid® is technically similar in all respects to the watches delivered to the men of the Commando Hubert with the exception of the emblem on the dial just above 6 o’clock.
