Description

Introducing the Richard Mille RM 65-01, a remarkable sports timepiece designed for everyday use and every situation. This watch represents Richard Mille’s tireless pursuit of innovation and showcases the brand’s technical expertise. With its complex features, specific architecture, and high-end aesthetic, the RM 65-01 is a true masterpiece of mechanical watchmaking.

Calibre RMAC4

The RM 65-01 houses a skeletonized automatic winding movement, offering hours, minutes, and seconds at 6 o’clock. It also includes a date display, a split-seconds chronograph with a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 9 o’clock, a function selector, rapid winding, and a variable-geometry rotor.

Power Reserve

With a power reserve of approximately 60 hours (±10%), the RM 65-01 ensures reliable timekeeping. The actual power reserve may vary based on the utilization of the chronograph features.

Baseplate and Bridges Made of Grade 5 Titanium

Crafted from grade 5 titanium, the baseplate and bridges offer exceptional rigidity, biocompatibility, and resistance to corrosion. This alloy, consisting of 90% grade 5 titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, is widely used in industries such as aerospace and automobile due to its mechanical properties. The optimized baseplate provides a low weight-to-resistance ratio, and extensive validation tests ensure its durability.

Split-Seconds Chronograph

The modern architecture of the RMAC4 calibre allows for a logical arrangement of its parts, maximizing functionality and minimizing unnecessary overlapping. Equipped with a latest-generation split-seconds mechanism, the RM 65-01 ensures precise and synchronized movement. Rigorous tests, including shock simulations and magnetic field resistance trials, guarantee its functionality in any situation.

Rapid Winding Mechanism

In addition to automatic winding and winding with the crown, the RM 65-01 features a rapid winding mechanism. By pressing the pusher at 8 o’clock, the barrel can be quickly reset, ideal for rearming the watch after a period of non-wear. Despite its high torque transfer, this playful function was successfully developed and tested thousands of times.

Date Display

The date display is located in a vertical aperture at 11 o’clock, providing a clear and instantaneous reading.

Function Selector

The RM 65-01 incorporates a specialized gearbox design for Winding, Date, and Hand Setting functions. To switch between these functions, use the pusher located at the center of the crown. The indicator hand at 4 o’clock will display W, D, or H, depending on the selected function.
