Richard Mille RM 65-01 Split-Seconds Chronograph Watch Launches Two Summer Trendy Colors The Richard Mille RM 65-01 split-seconds chronograph has just been launched in two new summer colors: Light Blue Quartz TPT® and Deep Yellow Quartz TPT®. While Richard Mille’s technical prowess is indeed remarkable, I often think of the brand as the ultimate color theorist, always pairing the right hues together to create a dynamic canvas.
Previously available in Red Gold, Carbon TPT®, Titanium and Grey Quartz TPT®, the collection has injected energy and color into the collection, evoking blue skies and warm, sunny tones, respectively. The RM 65-01’s Light Blue Quartz TPT® and Deep Yellow Quartz TPT® create a rich color palette that improves readability as the case’s vibrant colors extend to the dial. Each color on the dial is associated with a specific function, which extends to the pushers and crown, ensuring intuitive operation.
The most complex automatic movement ever developed by the brand, the RMAC4 calibre is a high-frequency automatic split-seconds chronograph movement that is a marvel of engineering. Its high-frequency balance wheel oscillates at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour (vph), ensuring extremely high precision. With its six-column wheel, the movement expertly manages time measurement and is a testament to Richard Mille’s relentless pursuit of horological innovation. A push-button at 8 o’clock quickly charges the spring in the rapidly rotating barrel, giving the chronograph a powerful 60-hour power reserve. A function selector on the crown allows for quick switching between winding (W), date setting (D) and adjusting the hours and minutes (H).
The RM 65-01 is equipped with a variable inertia high-frequency balance wheel oscillating at a frequency of 36,000 vph. This precision is matched by a 60-hour power reserve, thanks to an efficient winding system. The quick-charge push-button at 8 o’clock and the function selector on the crown ensure that the RM 65-01 is as functional as it is beautiful.
Released in a limited edition, the Deep Yellow Quartz TPT® version adds an extra layer of exclusivity to its already impressive CV. The brightness of the Deep Yellow Quartz TPT® case complements the intricate gears visible on the skeletonized dial, creating a striking visual effect that is both sophisticated and bold.
Available in two colours, Light Blue Quartz TPT® and Deep Yellow Quartz TPT®, the Richard Mille RM 65-01 Automatic Split-second Chronograph embodies the brand’s spirit of innovation and pursuit of excellence. These new creations promise a summer filled with precision, colour and unique horological experiences. As Richard Mille continues to push the boundaries of watchmaking, the RM 65-01 stands as a beacon of unrivalled craftsmanship and disruptive design.
