Richard Mille RM 55-01 Manual-Wound Watch with the New Ultralight RMUL4 Movement
Richard Mille introduces the newest RM 55-01 manual-winding watch, whose design philosophy echoes Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's well-known quote: " True processing comes not from incorporating more, but from getting rid of all that is unnecessary. "
The resulting watch features a simplified structure to basic mechanical functions, using each component positioned in accordance with its structural or technological purpose.
The particular model is available in three circumstance options-carbon fiber TPT, gray quartz TPT, and whitened quartz TPT-each measuring 47. 33 mm x 37. 95 mm and 10. 75 mm thick.
These advanced ceramic material combine lightweight construction having robust shock and scuff resistance, and their layered floors give each watch an original visual character. The tonneau-shaped case retains Richard Mille's signature flowing lines along with ergonomic curves.
At the heart of this timepiece will be the new manual-winding RMUL4 mobility, an ultra-lightweight movement evaluating less than 5 grams.
Operating at 4 Hz (28, 800 shocks per hour), this watch boasts a power reserve of approximately 55 hours, continuing Richard Mille's long-standing emphasis on lightweight architectural and skeletonized construction.
The choice of manual winding contributes to this goal by reducing the mass of the automatic rotor while allowing a great unobstructed view of the motion.
The movements features a grade 5 titanium baseplate, chosen for its large rigidity, corrosion resistance, and light-weight properties. Its surface is usually micro-blasted and coated using a black PVD coating.
The gear train is definitely supported by three Grade a few titanium bridges, brushed in addition to treated with Titalyt electrochemical oxidation, a process that enhances exterior hardness and scratch level of resistance while giving the metal any matte finish.
Like many Richard Mille movements, its managing mechanism is designed with steadiness and shock resistance in its core.
This specific freewheel uses four removable weights for variable inertia adjustment, rather than a traditional hugh regulator, thus improving long lasting timekeeping stability. It also blends with a stop-seconds mechanism regarding precise time adjustment.
Power is supplied by the dual-cylinder system, meticulously built to provide a more stable torque output during operation.
Distributing energy by means of two barrels reduces anxiety on internal components, adding to a smoother power exchange over its 55-hour independent running time.
The movement is secure to the case by Level 5 titanium spline anchoring screws and framed by satin-polished pillars and a polished board.
Above that, the rhodium-plated pointer floor is micro-blasted, sweeping around a multi-part flange consists of titanium, carbon fiber, and iron, increasing depth and compare while maintaining sharpness.
