The RM 21-02 Tourbillon Aerodyne Skeleton Watch is the latest material iteration in RICHARD MILLE’s RM 21-02 series. Its standout feature is the case, which combines blue Caribbean Quartz TPT, black Carbon TPT, and silver-gray titanium—three ultra-light, high-tech materials. The cool-toned palette contrasted with bright yellow accents creates a striking and dynamic visual effect.

The tonneau-shaped case measures 42.68 × 50.12 mm, with a thickness of 14.30 mm. The front and middle case frames are made of titanium, the lateral pillars are Carbon TPT, and the bezel and caseback are crafted from Caribbean Quartz TPT. The vibrant blue of the quartz fiber complements the silver-gray titanium, while the black carbon fiber accentuates the contrast.

The openworked dial reveals the full structure and operation of the movement. At 1 o’clock is the torque indicator, at 11 o’clock the power reserve, and at 4 o’clock the crown function indicator. The base color and edges of the numerals alternate between yellow and blue. At 12 o’clock, a semi-skeletonized barrel is visible, and the tourbillon at 6 o’clock is suspended by 10 titanium bridges, enhancing the three-dimensional depth.

The watch is powered by the RM 21-01 manual-winding movement, beating at 21,600 vph with a 70-hour power reserve. The movement baseplate is crafted from carbon fiber and Haynes 214, a high-performance alloy, offering exceptional rigidity and oxidation resistance. The hexagonal honeycomb structure adds a strong geometric aesthetic.

The watch is paired with a black rubber strap, produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces, with price yet to be announced.
