Description

Richard Mille’s latest RM 07-04 Automatic Sport collection is being heralded as the brand’s first-ever women’s sports watch, though it certainly doesn’t lack the high-performance credentials expected of any Richard Mille creation. Weighing an astonishing 36 grams including its strap, this watch achieves ultra-light status through the use of Quartz TPT. Developed via the same process as Carbon TPT (but with silica layers instead of carbon), Quartz TPT offers exceptional strength, stability, and an eye-catching contemporary look. In the Mauve Pink variation, the material’s vibrant hue is sure to draw attention both on and off the playing field.

Despite being marketed toward women, the watch’s 30.50mm x 44.95mm x 10.35mm tonneau-shaped case is anything but petite. The design prioritizes legibility and resilience, crucial for professional sports use. This is evident in the skeletonised dial, which displays only essential indications—hours, minutes, and a function selector indicator—allowing the wearer to swiftly gauge the watch’s status. The strong yet lightweight case construction also ensures the timepiece is shock resistant up to 5000g’s, reflecting Richard Mille’s commitment to real-world performance in disciplines as demanding as athletics, golf, and motorsport.

At the heart of the RM 07-04 lies the newly developed CRMA8 automatic calibre, delivering a generous 50-hour power reserve. Its state-of-the-art engineering and advanced materials ensure reliability through the toughest conditions. Meanwhile, the skeletonised bridges and rotor are meticulously designed for both aesthetic appeal and functional efficiency, a hallmark of the brand’s dedication to top-tier craftsmanship.

Adding to the watch’s bold personality is its uplifting colorway, a hallmark of Richard Mille’s approach, where bright tones serve to underscore technical prowess. Whether worn on a running track, a golf course, or simply as a statement of sporty sophistication, the Richard Mille RM 07-04 Mauve Pink Automatic Sport exemplifies cutting-edge innovation fused with a dynamic, style-forward sensibility.
