Description
The Richard Mille RM 72-01 showcases precision with its baseplate and bridges crafted from grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible and corrosion-resistant alloy. Comprising 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, this material ensures superior rigidity and flawless performance, enhanced by micro-blasting and grey electroplasma treatment.
The watch features a patented flyback chronograph mechanism with oscillating pinions. This innovative system splits torque across the chronograph’s counters, keeping the base movement unaffected during timing functions. A 6-column wheel activates rockers for precise control of start, stop, flyback, and reset actions. The hour counter’s red “16” pays homage to traditional endurance race start times.
The RM 72-01 blends cutting-edge engineering with a nod to horological history, delivering unmatched functionality and elegance.
