The Richard Mille RM 74-01 features baseplate and bridges crafted from grade 5 titanium, a biocompatible and corrosion-resistant alloy known for its remarkable rigidity. This material, composed of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium, is often used in aerospace and automotive industries due to its superior mechanical properties.

The skeletonized baseplate and bridges are rigorously tested for optimal strength. The RM 74-01 also boasts a free-sprung balance with variable inertia, enhancing reliability and precision.

Incorporated within the CRMT6 calibre, the variable-geometry rotor, made with 18K white gold and platinum, allows for customization based on activity level, ensuring efficient winding through adjustable weights. The RM 74-01 is a blend of cutting-edge engineering and refined craftsmanship.
