Description
Among Richard Mille’s most technically ambitious creations, the RM17-01 combines the complexity of a chronograph with the mesmerizing mechanics of a tourbillon, all housed within a lightweight carbon case measuring 48.15 mm x 40.1 mm. This openworked dial configuration reveals the intricate dance of gears and springs that defines the caliber RM17-01, while Arabic numerals provide legible time reading against the skeletonized architecture. The carbon construction places this reference within Richard Mille’s high-performance category, where aerospace materials meet haute horlogerie complications in a package that weighs significantly less than traditional precious metal alternatives.
Key Features & Specifications
Carbon Fiber Architecture — Both case and bezel utilize Richard Mille’s proprietary carbon composite, delivering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio while showcasing the distinctive woven pattern visible beneath the surface finish.
Dual Complication Movement — The in-house caliber RM17-01 integrates a 60-second tourbillon with a column-wheel chronograph, featuring two subdials for elapsed seconds and minutes within the openworked mainplate.
Exceptional Power Reserve — Despite housing both chronograph and tourbillon complications, the movement maintains a 70-hour power reserve through optimized barrel configuration and reduced friction components.
Openworked Dial Construction — Skeletonized architecture exposes the movement’s mechanical components while Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock ensure optimal legibility against the complex backdrop.
Sapphire Crystal Protection — Anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal on both faces provides clear visibility of the movement while maintaining scratch resistance during daily wear.
Integrated Rubber Strap — Black rubber strap with double fold clasp complements the carbon case materials while providing comfort and security for the substantial 48mm case diameter.
Water Resistance Engineering — 50-meter water resistance accommodates daily activities while protecting the complex chronograph and tourbillon mechanisms from moisture ingress.
