Description

This is the most complicated automatic watch produced by Richard Mille, now in a limited edition variant of 120 pieces with this Deep Yellow Quartz TPT case. This high-performance automatic split-seconds chronograph is built for extreme precision and durability.

The dial features hours, minutes, seconds at 6 o’clock, split-seconds chronograph with 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, and 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock.

The date is featured in a vertical aperture at 11 o’clock. A conveniently-located pusher in the crown allows the wearer to select which function to set : Winding, Date and Hand Setting. A little hand at 4 o’clock indicates which function is currently selected.

The case measures 44.50mm x 49.94mm and is made of Quartz TPT, a material that is heat-resistant, strong and lightweight. The movement is finished beautifully to the highest standards with the baseplate and bridges in Grade 5 titanium.

At its heart is the skeletonized RMAC4 in-house caliber, a complex movement with six column wheels for a seamless chronograph function. It features a variable-geometry rotor for optimized winding efficiency and delivers a 60-hour power reserve. This movement carries a standout innovation in the form of the rapid winding mechanism, allowing you to instantly rearm the barrel with a few presses of the pusher at 8 o’clock.
