The watch continues RICHARD MILLE’s signature tonneau-shaped case design, secured with 12 titanium spline screws on the bezel. Both the bezel and middle case are made of Grade 5 titanium, offering a lightweight and comfortable wearing experience. The crown features a torque-limiting safety system to prevent accidental overwinding that could damage the movement.
The open-worked dial is accented with vibrant elements — yellow hour markers, blue bridges, gold gear trains, black chapter rings, and ruby bearings — producing a lively visual tension. Arabic numerals are printed on both sides of the sapphire crystal dial, creating a subtle 3D effect. The power reserve indicator at 2 o’clock and the crown function indicator at 3 o’clock are highlighted with a grey background, harmonizing with the case color.
The watch is powered by the RM 17-02 manual winding movement, operating at 21,600 vph and providing a 70-hour power reserve. Its baseplate and bridges are also made of Grade 5 titanium and finished by hand with chamfering, polishing, satin brushing, sandblasting, and rhodium plating. The grey backgrounds on the 2 o’clock power reserve and 3 o’clock crown function indicators improve legibility.
The watch comes with a black fabric strap. Official pricing has not yet been announced.
