The new model continues RICHARD MILLE’s signature tonneau-shaped case design. The bezel is set with baguette-cut diamonds and custom-cut lozenge-shaped diamonds. The metal surfaces are mirror-polished, creating rich visual depth and geometric detail.
The dial maintains its unique asymmetrical layout:
2 o’clock: Orange 45-minute chronograph counter
5 o’clock: Green 12-hour chronograph counter
9 o’clock: Blue small seconds disc
Center: Gold hour and minute hands with a red central chronograph seconds hand
This multi-color scheme highlights its contemporary character. A small crown position indicator is at 3 o’clock, and a vertical double-digit date window is discreetly placed at 8 o’clock. The partially openworked dial cleverly reveals the finely finished movement bridges and gear train.
It is powered by the in-house Calibre CRMC1 automatic movement, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offering a 50-hour power reserve. This movement features a patented “oscillating pinion double coupling mechanism” where the mainspring’s energy is transmitted directly to the chronograph hands via two oscillating pinions, ensuring more stable operation and a slimmer profile—the entire movement is just 6.05mm thick.
The official price is approximately 711,581 Euros.
